About us
[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.
We also enjoy the website Boardgamegeek. You can find our collection info there, under the username togglegaming.
Come on out and toggle your inner geek!

[toggle Gaming] presents Tabletop Wednesday
Lutheran Church of the Cross, 2025 S. Goebbert Rd, Arlington Heights, IL, US[toggle Gaming] presents: Tabletop Wednesday!
Ready to have a good time?! Maybe you want to play the latest hotness in board gaming; maybe you're hoping to break out that old comfortable favorite; maybe you just want to enjoy a bit of silly fun with some new friends. Whatever you're looking for in board or card games, [toggle Gaming] is the place for you! We're a friendly, inclusive group, and we can't wait to see you. Join us, won't you?
## Upcoming Special Event Nights:
We’re trying something new — special event nights! Some weeks, we’ll have something special in addition to our usual open gaming, fun movies, and more.
- First Wednesday: New Member Welcome Night – New members are always welcome at toggle, but we’re going to try and be a bit more gregarious on the first Wednesday of each month — a bit more likely to stay in short games people can join easily, a bit quicker to hop up and say hi, and so on. We also encourage you to bring new members on this week in particular. We’ll also offer a free soda and snack to new members and to the toggler who brought them.
- Birthday Celebration – On the third Wednesday of each month, we celebrate the birthdays for the month. Born in April? Know someone born in April? Like Cake? This will be your night.
Do you have an idea for a special toggle night? Let us know what you’re thinking about!
## Play to win!
Toggle sometimes has extra copies of games that we already have in the library, or games that people have donated. We’ve introduced a new ‘play to win’ table. Play a game on the play to win table. The winner, or someone else who played if they already have a copy, takes the game home!
#### FOOD AND DRINK WELCOME!
Feel free to pick up dinner on your way, or bring snacks and/or beverages for yourself. We usually have soda and snacks available for a nominal price. Check our website at http://togglegaming.com/events/ to see if we're planning anything special with regard to food.
#### LOTS OF GREAT GAMES!
Bring your own games or use our library. We have over 400 games for you to use, or you can bring your own!
#### DESIGNERS WELCOME!
[toggle Gaming] 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.
#### EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
While [toggle Gaming] is an event held at a church, it is not a religious event. We welcome all gamers, and there is no religious activity or expectation of it.
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, 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!
[toggle Gaming] is proud to be sponsored by XYZ Game Lab
