Boardgame shops in Ireland (or that deliver here)

I recently started looking at getting some boardgames. Not the standard dull roll & move type games like Monopoly and Game of life but more interesting ones like Carcassonne & Settlers of Catan for family play.

After some research I was thinking of getting Survive:Escape From Atlantis. But I can't get this on Amazon.co.uk.

I am hoping to get a few games for our holidays in July (we are staying in Ireland so no doubt there will be a few rained in days).

Is there a good Irish shop that does mail order or another alternative to amazon.co.uk that I can get these games (or the types of games you'd find on www.boardgamegeek.com )

http://gamersworlddublin.com/ deliver, if you can't find what you are looking for on the site, give them a ring and they can order it in for you. Never bought from their site, but I have bought from them directly plenty of times at cons, and they are good lads to deal with.

Definitely Gamers World, but do yourself a favour and don't even look at the website...it's terrible. If you can visit their shop on Jervis St you can see their range...as far as I know they don't have Survive in stock (nor have I seen it there) but as oeb said, they should order it in for you.

I have bought a few games from this website.

Also you could try Ebay as they have boardgames for sale.

Survive evaded me a few months ago whist looking for it and I ended up buying a cheap 80s copy of Atlantis. Ebay, IGUK, Celestial games, GamesLore and ebay are where I usually try. Also look it up on boardgamegeek and see if there's any copy on the marketplace. I've made 4 purchases off it so far and everyone has been brilliant.

If anyone in the West Cork area is looking for boardgames, I recommend http://happygolucky.town.ie/home. The owner there is a bit of a board game fanatic himself and any time I drop in (which wouldn't be too often as I don't live in the area but I would pass through occasionally) I end up leaving with something as we get into a big gaming discussion! He will order in anything he doesn't have in stock.
