Tabletop Tuesday: July! July! (7/01)

There is a road that meets the road / That goes to my house
And how it green grows there / And we’ve got special boots
To beat the path to my house / And it’s careful, and it’s careful when I’m there

Coming out to play games never seemed strange to me! It may be hot outside, but with chilled drinks and fun friends, the toggle Gaming community has never been cooler. Come on out and join us upstairs at Nellie’s Gastropub from 6-11pm today, Tuesday, July 1. See you there!

Tabletop Tuesday: Fun Out of the Sun (6/24)

Whoo, it’s too hot to be outside. Yeah, you wanted to play baseball or go for a walk or work on the garden, but mother nature cooked up a scorcher for you this week, so you need to huddle inside. And where better to do that than somewhere you can get a tasty, cold beverage and join some delightful pals in playing games? That’s right, I mean toggle gaming upstairs at Nellies, in Palatine, from 6-11pm. Join us, eh?

Gamers at a table

Tabletop Tuesday: A Game for Every Mood (6/17)

It’s Tuesday, and that means it’s GAME ON. Join us for some delightful tabletop excitement over in Palatine. Maybe you’ll conquer the dark caves of the Forgotten Realms in a game of Tyrants of the Underdark, or stroll along the beach with Santa Monica. Perhaps you’ll manage your crops and try to avoid disaster In the Year of the Dragon, or find the best combination of tiles in a good ol’ game of Rummikub. Whatever your taste, there’s a game for you at [toggle Gaming]. Join us upstairs tonight, June 17th, at Nellies in Palatine, from 6 to 11pm.

Tabletop Tuesday: Summer Gaming Galore! (6/10)

Hot dog, it’s summer! What a great time to get out to play some games. Maybe pick out some games that embody the spirit of the season? Maybe Top Gun, for some volleyball excitement. Maybe Photosynthesis, to capture the light of the season. Heck, just dive in to Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun for some real season-focused excitement. You know you want to! Join us from 6pm – 11pm upstairs at Nellie’s Pub in Palatine!

A Room full of gamers

Tabletop Tuesday: Summer Gaming is here! (5/20)

Summer is roaring in, and it’s time to play some games. Perhaps you’ll play some classics like Ticket to Ride or Rummikub. Maybe you’ll change a whole planet with Terraforming Mars or scour one for resources in Nexus Ops. Try building a stained glass window with a game of Sagrada or smash a few of them in King of Tokyo. There are so many ways to have fun, you’ll be wracked with indecision! Join us from 6pm – 11pm upstairs at Nellie’s Pub in Palatine!

Tabletop Tuesday: It’s Tuesday the 13th! (5/13)

On May 13th in 1637, Cardinal Richelieu of France had his servants file the sharp points off the house knives because he was tired of the ill manners some of his table guests displayed, stabbing meat and picking their teeth with their dinner daggers. And thus, the table knife was invented. What better way to celebrate than join us for dinner, drinks, and games at Nellie’s in Palatine? Maybe you can play a dinner-themed game, perhaps Donner Dinner Party, or maybe a game about Renaissance Europe like Royals? Either way, you’ll have fun and camaraderie as you do so. Join us from 6pm – 11pm upstairs!

Tabletop Tuesday: May the 6th be with you (5/6)

Search your feelings: you know it to be true. I have a good feeling about this — Tuesday the 6th will be a great night to play games! So grab your blaster and your favorite droid and come on out for a delightful night of games. Just make sure to let the Wookie win. We meet upstairs at Darth Nellie’s in Palatine from 6:00-11:00pm on Tuesday nights!

Gamers play BEYOND THE SUN around a table

Tabletop Tuesday: April Comes to a Close (4/29)

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!

Port Royal

Tabletop Tuesday: April Showers of Fun! (4/8)

What’s better than a Tuesday night of gaming? Nothing. That’s what. We’re welcoming new people each week, so there are lots of new games and gamers to play! Come on out to Nellie’s in Palatine and join us upstairs. You’ll see! Be there: 6-11pm on Tuesday nights.

Groups of fun gamers try a variety of games at toggle gaming.

Tabletop Tuesday: We Ain’t Foolin! (4/1)

There are some things we’ll joke about. This Twilight Imperium game will only take 45 minutes. You can believe me — I’d never be a cylon! I have the best luck with dice. (Sob!) We can all have a good time with those jokes. But we’ll never kid about this: you’ll have a great time at toggle. Come on out to Nellie’s in Palatine and join us upstairs. You’ll see! Be there: 6-11pm on Tuesday nights.
