What we’re about
[tG] is a community of geeks who have a passion for tabletop games. We organize gaming events that allow the community to get together, play games, meet new people, and have fun. We work hard to welcome gamers of all experience levels (especially non-gamers who are new to the hobby).
Our community has spawned friendships that have extended far beyond the gaming events. We’ve waged paintball battles, undertaken quests to the Renaissance Faire, met at the movies, and more.
[toggle] also works hard to support small and local business, as well as building connections with game publishers and other companies that support our members’ hobbies and interests.
Come on out and toggle your inner geek!
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Tabletop Tuesday at Nellie's [toggle Gaming]Durty Nellie's Gastropub & Concert Hub, Palatine, IL
April is almost over! It’s your last chance to get games in before the beautiful weather of May starts calling you outside. (Who are we kidding? Then it will be too hot and you can come to toggle to get out of the heat.) But now’s the time to play. We’ve had a lot of new folks showing up, so bring a favorite game, grab a game from our newly-reorganized shelves, and get your GAME ON. We meet upstairs at Nellie’s in Palatine from 6:00-11:00pm on Tuesday nights!
### Raise Your Game with Game of the Week!
Each week for the next three months, toggle will feature a “Game of the Week,” showcasing games in our collection that have been donated by publishers to toggle gaming. This week we’ll be playing Unrest from Pandasaurus Games. Come check it out!
### On the Table
Recently at toggle, we’ve played Diatoms, Beyond the Sun, Hansa Teutonica, Wingspan, Munchkin, Nusfjord, Revive, and more!
Some games we played last weekring your own games or use our library. We have over 400 games for you to use, or you can bring your own!#### DESIGNERS WELCOME!
Tabletop Tuesday events have often played host to designers of all stripes, with games at all levels of development. If you’re going to bring a prototype to test, you should also plan to play games with other people as well, trading tests for tests.
#### PLAY ALL EVENING
We start at 6:00pm and go until 11pm. But you don’t need to be there the whole time. Arrive when you like, leave when you want. If you’re hoping to play something specific–especially something “heavier” that might take a little preparation–consider heading over to our Facebook page to pre-arrange your game. Nellie’s has a lovely patio you can use for outside play when the weather is pleasant.
#### EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
While [toggle Gaming] is an adult event held at a bar, feel welcome to bring your children with you. Our library has many family friendly games, and we regularly welcome younger gamers to the table.
Come by, grab a pint, roll some dice, play some cards, collect some cubes, watch some flicks, see familiar faces, and make new friends.If you’re a member of Chicago Game Lovers (https://www.meetup.com/chicagogames/) as well; be sure to RSVP to the meetup there as well so we can tell the members there how much fun we have!
