BOTÍN IRELAND is a new Irish games publishing company, creating family-friendly bilingual games with an emphasis on geography, history and Irish culture

Totally bilingual, BOTÍN IRELAND uses video, audio and social game playing to expand the student’s knowledge of the history, geography and the culture of Ireland in an interesting and enjoyable way.

If you are just starting to learn gaeilge, BOTÍN IRELAND will help you understand how Irish sounds; as an intermediate Irish speaker, you can improve your skills with our side-by-side translations, both written and audio.

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

Our mission

Our mission is to make learning the Irish language fun and interesting. We have created a totally bilingual board game where family and friends can chase each other around our beautiful Emerald Isle. You will become an important part of the new and growing Gaelic resurgence, as you visit many of the interesting places that are so prevalent in our magical island. You will learn about ancient traditions, language, villages, castles, art, crafts and read about them in English and your ever-improving Gaelic.
