It’s the middle of March. It’s rainy. The chill is mostly out of the air. That means it’s time for games! Come on out and join us for another fun evening of gaming, camaraderie, and dice-rolling delights. We’re gaming from 6:00 until 11:00pm at LCC (2025 S. Goebbert Street, Arlington Heights, the Lutheran Church of the Cross). Look for the lit-up toggle sign outside. 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.
- Third Wednesday: Birthday Cake (3/18) – To celebrate another year around the sun, we’ll bring a birthday cake to share (free of charge) on the Third Wednesday of each month. This cake will celebrate any togglers whose birthdays fall in that month.
- First Wednesday: New Member Welcome Night (4/1) – 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.
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!
Congrats to Kara, who took home Azul last week!
On the Table
Recently at toggle, we’ve played Azul; Root; Onitama; Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring – Trick Taking Game; Beer and Bread; Art Society; Compile; and more!
Things to Expect at Toggle Gaming:
- A Huge library – try games from our library of 400+ titles or bring your own!
- Bring Food and Drinks – Our host, LCC, allows us to bring whatever food and drink we like, as long as we clean up after ourselves. Sometimes we arrange specific food events (see above for details).
- A Welcoming Environment – We at [toggle Gaming] welcome anyone and everyone to our game table. Whether you’re new to the hobby or a die-hard grognard, we’d love for you to join us!
- Designers ahoy – We have quite a few designers who come to [toggle Gaming] with prototypes to try. Maybe you’ll play the next CANVAS in prototype form!
Planning your evening:
Feel free to come as you are and jump into games on the fly, or head over to our Facebook Community page to see what people are planning to play next week. Maybe even add your own game to the list!
