How many did you destroy? As stated on the respective building pages, you do not get a board for every single building you destroy, rather there is a possibility of 30% (Samovars, European Country Houses) or 60% (Bavarian Inns). Which still does not mean you get e.g. one board for every 3 Samovars, but on average 30% of destroyed Samovars will give you a board. That means you need a lot of buildings to get 40 boards (around 134 Samovars, 143 ECHs or 67 Bavarian Inns).

On a side note, if you are watching your money I would recommend you build only Samovars because the cost per board is by far the lowest (134 Samovars = $14.74Mio [+ 134*$27,500=$3.7Mio demolition costs], 134 ECHs = $29.48Mio [+ $7.4Mio demolition], 67 Bavarian Inns = $46.9Mio [+ $11.7Mio demolition] - although still excruciating, ~$460,000 PER BOARD. This is obviously only true if you destroy the buildings immediately after building. If time doesn't matter you can collect from the buildings for some time until they break which brings the costs down considerably.
