July comes in with a bang! Well, probably not. It’s games galore, so bring along a new friend! Can’t wait to see you here. The fun starts at 6pm at LCC, (2025 S Goebbert Road, Arlington Heights). Join us, won’t you?
Temperature Update: Air Con
Because the summer makes the space very hot, we’re trying a couple new things this week. First — we’ll be playing in the Narthex this week. It’s a little smaller, but that should make it easier to do the second thing. Second — Rob and Brendan have tapped into the toggle savings fund to acquire a portable air conditioner. We’ll be working out the kinks, but it should help get things back toward cool. See you there!
First Wednesday New Member 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.
On the Table
Recently at toggle, we’ve played Leaf; Cosmic Encounter; Castle Panic; Raccoon Tycoon; Saboteur; The Gang; Clank!; Sentinels of the Multiverse; and more!

Upcoming Special Event Nights:
Some weeks, we do something special in addition to our usual open gaming, fun movies, and more.
BirthdayAnniversary Celebration (7/16) – On the third Wednesday of each month, we celebrate the birthdays for the month. We are extra excited to do this in July, as July 16th will be the 13th anniversary of toggle gaming, which first met on July 16, 2013. To celebrate, we’ll be staying extra late! Join us.
Do you have an idea for a special toggle night? Let us know what you’re thinking about!
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!
