Perfect gift and travel guide for anyone with an interest in their Irish heritage.
Each card helps pronunciation in spoken English and Irish, and matches each card in the BOTÍN IRELAND board game.
We created this bilingual board game to bring Gaeilge into homes and classrooms in a fun way. Now, we’re raising funds to send it FREE to schools – north and south, no profit, just printing and delivery.
Every 30 euro = 1 school receives the game.
No big company behind this – just two Gaelic fans with a mad idea and a lot of heart

BOTÍN is the fun way to learn a great deal about Ireland as you improve your language skills. The board shows where each town is in relation to the others and each card gives an interesting insight into one of the towns and the wonderful things you can find and do there.
The accompanying 20 page booklet has step-by-step instructions in both language to show students the direct translation as they learn how to play.
The instruction videos in Irish and English follow the booklet line-by-line to help during language practice

Looking for a gift that’s smart, fun, and bursting with Irish charm? You’re in the right place. At Botín Ireland, we create bilingual Irish board games, witty jigsaws, and T-shirts with a twist — all designed in Co. Cork, with a cheeky wink of Gaeilge.
We design bilingual board games and Irish-English jigsaw puzzles that make learning feel like play. Whether you’re a fluent Gaeilgeoir or just learning your first cúpla focal, our games are designed to bring people together — through laughter, strategy, and cultural discovery.
Our flagship game, Cops vs Robbers, lets you chase or escape across the Irish map. Robbers grab cash. Police race to catch them. Players explore iconic Irish places as they strategize their next move. It’s ideal for 2–6 players, age 10+, and lasts about 90 minutes.
Because we believe learning Irish should be fun — not a chore. That’s why our games are tested in schools, loved by Irish clubs, and backed by five-star reviews from families around the world.
Teachers say our games spark curiosity and confidence. Parents tell us it brings Gaeilge back into the home. And players? Well, they just keep asking for one more round.
We also offer a range of fun Irish T-shirts and clever gifts — perfect for Irish Americans, language lovers, and anyone who enjoys a bit of banter with their heritage.
