Where do you buy your boardgames from?.

Paddy Samurai

Just wondering where people get most their boardgames from?. I have bought from a few different places over the years .I usually shop around for the best prices and imo there can be big price differences.
From the following I have got about 95% of my games.

WEBSITES


http://www.boardgamer.ie/
Bought a couple of games from this Irish website.


http://www.leisuregames.com/
Only started buying from this one in the last year ,where I got games stuff I could’nt get elsewhere..

https://www.gameslore.com/
Bought a few games over the years ,ones again that I could’nt get elsewhere.


https://www.uplay.it/en/
Got a few bargain games here.But you have to make sure you order the English version.


http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=lp_364146031_nr_p_n_feature_keywords_3?fst=as%3Aoff&rh=n%3A468292%2Cn%3A!595312%2Cn%3A!595314%2Cn%3A364143031%2Cn%3A364146031%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A1188403031&bbn=364146031&ie=UTF8&qid=1443185471&rnid=1188252031
Found amazon to be good for current games .You can get good deals once to watch the prices.

Bought my most recent purchase here and found them excellent. I think their based in the north. They don’t have a huge range but I will be buying from them again if I see something I like.


https://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/games/tabletop%20games
I have backed about 5 games here since it started and have received 2 so far.The main downside to kickstarter imo ,is the waiting.

Bought a couple here.Its great for hard to get /out of print games. But it also links to new games.

I got pathfinder card sets here a bargain prices,they also do the star war ships but not sure about prices.


SHOPS

I have probably bought about 40% of my games here over the years. Great selection ,but can be expensive.



A few other shops i found on hols in Barcelona and Stockholm which had great game selections, my favourite one visited was the Science Fiction Bookstore in stockholm.

I use a few of those myself, I would also recomend

Great prices but postage is expensive so only really good value on larger orders. They have English games but I have bought many language independant games from them and just printed out english rules.
I also keep a close eye on this for potential bargains.

Gamersworld has provided me with 90% of my purchases.
Anything not bought there, were purchased at cons of one sort or the other.

Hi everyone! Having a huge problem finding either the Prestige or Deluxe edition of scrabble.
These are the ones that have a revolving board and wooden pieces. Have tried gamers world and no luck. Amazon of course has them, but the exchange rate right now makes it impossible to purchase, so was hoping to find a shop in Dublin that sells them. I don't live in Dublin, but would gladly travel for this purpose.
If anyone knows of a shop, or online business that may stock the above, I would be most grateful if you could let me have the name, or website address.
Many thanks in advance.
