Other Realms

Other Realms, conveniently situated in the trendy Hugenot quarter’s Paul Street Shopping Centre, is a mecca for anyone interested in role-​playing games, board games, collectible card games and wargames in Cork city. Previously a considerably bigger shop with space to have coffee, a recent refurbishment and addition of a health food section (well, all-​night games sessions, fatty fast food chomped down between games and far too many heavily caffeinated beverages take their toll.!) has removed the additional space Other Realms enjoyed, without having a knock-​on effect on their product range. Munster’s largest comic and gaming store, the staff at Other Realms’ professionalism and extensive product knowledge mark them out as leaders in what can sometimes be an unprofessional industry. The thoughtful, open design encouraging browsing, extensive product range of games, genre books and tie-​in merchanchasing, as well as the attentive but casual staff, also single Other Realms out as a major contender in the games and comics industry in Ireland. As well as this, they also host a web-​based comic and game catalogue service, for those who can’t access their physical premises. Still only a few years old, Other Realms is definitely worth a browse for anyone interested in all things geek.
