The Gaming Goat is a full line gaming community located in Elgin, IL.  The planning process began for the physical location in June of 2010, and much research was done within the gaming industry.  The Gaming Goat team competitively shopped every store in northern Illinois and participated in many gaming events to learn the exact process and how to make events better.  We have partnered with big name players in the local community to gain feedback about our store operations.  We have listened, and delivered to the best of our ability.  We feel that we have built a superior store environment and gaming community that focuses on both casual and competitive gaming.

We are owned and operated by a team of talented gamers that have a variety of backgrounds including human resources, computer engineering, military, and legal.  The one constant for our team is the love of gaming!  People make the difference in any store/community environment, and we have some of the friendliest and best in the business!

The Gaming Goat also holds events weekly for the community, mainly in the TCG realm.  To support the TCG events we feature 35 feet of high-end glass cases filled with TCG singles, boosters, and accessories.  This includes a Magic the Gathering singles collection that is growing to be the biggest in the Chicago-land area!  What really sets us apart is our great selection of RPG books, miniatures, and board/dice games.  We also have a huge open play area that is separated from the retail store, for open play ANY time we are open for business.  Do you have a gaming group and want to run events at The Gaming Goat?  Feel free to contact us anytime.

See everyone soon!
