While we all play games for our body's health & fitness, few of us play games for our brain's health & fitness.  But recent medical research says we should. It shows that there are 3 important contributors to brain fitness:    (1) eating the right food & nutrition;    (2) maintaining physical activity & exercise; and    (3) playing super fun games with others. The first two are easy enough to do, but where and how can you play super fun games with others?  Easy: Thinkers' Toys. What are Thin …

… We also feature a full line of industry leading board games, each location contains a minimum of 250-300 board games and accessories.  Both locations run events 4-5 times a week and are noted on our Meetup.com calendar!  Any questions?  Feel free to contact us!  info@thegaminggoat.com   -Jeff Bergren CEO/President

Meet nearby Party Game Players! This group is designed for adults (sort-of) who enjoy games like Pictionery, Scattergories, Password, and Charades. Very easy rules and a nice, intimate setting where we keep score but nobody loses.  Typically, we stick to PARTY games and not card or board games. It's more constant action for everybody, and, I believe, lends itself to more goofiness!    MAKE TIME FOR FUN!!

… If you like to laugh, dance, and even sing and have a little competitive streak that enjoys board games, cards, baseball, train trips to the city, and interesting people with interesting minds, this is it! The only games we play have rules and if a hookup is your only goal, there are other places for that. Of course we all like to date and make new friends, but our focus is all about making lasting friendships that will be around ten years from now.

This group has new organizers!  Instead of letting this group disappear, Jeff Bergen of the Elgin gaming store The Gaming Goat has stepped up to be the organizer of this group.  Since he also runs the store's Meetup group, he's leaving it to other gamers to manage it and maintain the meetups.    As such, we're going to try and open the group up to announce any public rpg gatherings in or around Elgin.  So, feel free to suggest new meetups to announce your own games, or update us on existing game …

We found that our life and social circle changed when we moved to the Chicago area and our children left home for college and to start their careers. We are starting this group to find new friends with similar interests who are also dealing with transition. The purpose of this group will be to promote social interaction and friendships through theater, dinning, barbecues, wine tastings, card/game nights, and other fun activities. This group will be made up of couples who believe in social justic …

We are trying to get a 40+ Couples Euchre Group going in the Algonquin/LITH general area, very casual, not overly competitive. Ideally we could rotate couples home's for meetups within 10-15 of the Algonquin/LITH/Huntley area.

Sometimes being a geek girl is a lonely experience. It's hard connect with other women when they're staring at you funny because you're trying to explain your theory that the nature of a child's mutation stems partially from genetics as seen in Polaris and Magneto, but mostly from some sort of trauma before puberty - the time in which most mutants first exhibit abilities. Ex: Nightcrawler wanted to disappear because of his demonic appearance, and he did. You flashed 'em a little bit of your geek …

Hello Lovelies! I created this group in hopes of finding some like-minded woman who want to build their network of girlfriends. I'm in my early 20s and would love to meet with other women in their 20s and early 30s. In college, I was in a small sorority that was a conglomerate of very different women (self proclaimed "non-sorority girls" lol) who made my life what it is. We went out to dinner, we had movie nights and played cards/board games, we argued about books/politics and sometimes we even …

Hi!   We're not 100% sure if there are other established 20-somethings in the Glen Ellyn/Wheaton area so this may be an exercise in futility.  :)  Only one way to find out!   We're hoping there are some nice, normal 20-something/early-30something couples out there who'd love to get together and hang out without having to negotiate traffic & a train into Chicago. :)   We love to cook dinner, drink wine, drink wine while cooking dinner, do dog play-dates (we have a Shih Tzu!) play board games, see …
