    This is a better deal than I thought.Mate told me that is over €30 more expensive in gamersworld @ €113.
    Thats some difference.

    But can I sit in Amazon and play it with some mates!

    So Pros and cons.

    Not sure you should be naming just one store without doing a price comparison to all stores in this little island of ours.

    Sry mark,Its the only one in dublin that myself and friends know and buy from.If you know others ,please mention.
    I was only highlighting saving for gamers,not knocking the shop.We all know shops have different overheads.Having said that if I can save €30 on a game.I will.

    And that's fair enough.
    It's just mentioning the shop seems like a swipe. Considering we have at least 4 stores in the Dublin area selling boardgames.

    It's happened in the transformers threads where a poster just had it in for one of the local suppliers. And no matter what was posted he came in with an "Cheaper" Internet option.
    Which is great if you want to get a solid deal.
    But I'm always one to support a Brick and mortar store. As I recall the time before them where we weren't able to gather to play. And purchases was mainly done at Cons.
    But that's just my take. No problem with folks posting deals.
    But do it without the comparison or compare to all stores as a fair option.
    But that's merely my take.

    What are the other stores selling board games?

    I mean, I know Sub City has a small section and occasionally you'll see a few Euros in places like Hamleys. But where else stocks stuff?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,144 ✭✭✭MarkHall


    Toymaster has a solid collection,
    The warchest
    Hidden treasures
    And that's just Dublin city at a glance.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,716 ✭✭✭✭Earthhorse


    Oh yes. I had actually been in Hidden Treasures over Christmas. Didn't know that's what it was called.

    As I said certainly not a swipe ,as I have bought over 20+ games from gamers world over the years including when it was in Dorset street.I will certainly check out the other stores you mention.
