Hi Darximus,

Is your store boardgamer.ie?

If so, fair play to you for getting this done! We needed a proper online boardgame shop in this country.

Keep up the good work!

Darximus didn't start boardgamer.ie, that would be me. I first came up with the idea in June 2012, and have been working on it since. I launched Board Gamer in January 2013.

Slowly getting word out about it.

Credit where credit is due: Well done, Boardgamer!

p.s. Can we expect any expansions to The Settlers of Catan?

I have the 5 - 6 player expansion for The Settlers of Catan that I haven't listed yet, will do that this evening. I'll definitely put an order in on Monday for more of the Settlers expansions.

it is nice to have some more options to buy boardgames in Ireland, well done to you.....but some prices are very high i.e. Puerto Rico 41.99 + 5 for shipping, well...good luck

Fair point. I reduced Puerto Rico to 39.99 . I should say that there is free shipping on orders over €100 and there is also the option of collection.

I usually shop around for games and my first option is to check amazon.co.uk, I would love to buy games here in Ireland but if I need to pay € 39.99 + 5 in your shop or £ 22.28 and free shipping (amazon) than this in a no-brainer for me. Of course this is your business and I will not tell you how to run it and I hope you will be successful. I was actually thinking on opening something like that but many people (gamers also) advised not to do it as there is no market for this in Ireland.

Best of luck. I don't disagree you need to keep prices competitive... but for some us lazy people... if I can order on Monday or Tuesday and ensure I have my game in my grubby hands for the weekly games night... i think a premium is worth it.
