EG&C is a user friendly shop. Closed Mondays but open until 10pm daily. Great selection of games for purchase and a library of games to try before you buy! I met Drew, Eli and Casper a really nice group of staffers. Clean, well lit, nice cafe and friendly patrons. Beverages are reasonably priced. Others say,...the soups are phenomenal! Bathrooms are nice with one with child sized stool and the other is ADA height. Clean well lit and open supplies give it a B+ in my book. Our Scrabble Club has changed venues and will meet here Sundays in the afternoon. Please check the online calendar for exact times...please just show up and join us! Note: street and large adjoining public parking lot are available. Free on Sundays!!

We really enjoyed the games and environment here! I took some kids on an adventure to a train ride and had some extra time around in the early afternoon. Out of curiosity we went into the quiet game cafe. It was conveniently right across from the Metra. It was a superb bonus to our day! There weren't too many games for these little people that can't read but the games suggested were great and we adjusted games as needed.

Super fun place, really deserves more attention. I love going here. Comfy drinks and just a good relaxing environment with tons of friendly people.

Great local business, more than anything the people here are awesome. It's become my son's favorite place because the people have been really helpful in engaging his fascination with Pokemon in ways we can't because we're fundamentally baffled by it. Also lots of D&D stuff and other RPGs, they host a ton of events, and it's just really cool to have a place dedicated to analog games.

Questions & Answers

How about canasta games in Evanston, Skokie or Wilmette

Could you please be more specific as to your question? EG&C isn't going to have a problem with people coming in and playing cards, but it might not be the best place to find partners.

Can you sell Pokémon cards here

Alan is correct - but the shop hopes to start carrying Pokemon soon, call ahead to see if that has happened yet if you want to buy or sell!
