The Galloping Goons

  • The President Goons, Matt and Croy (along with all of our friends), call each other the 'Galloping Goons,' inspired by Galloping Ghost—the largest video arcade in America! We spent countless hours at the arcade, leveling up our friendship over shared hobbies and fun adventures. We met in middle school band class and have been like brothers ever since!

Our Mission:

We built this shop to raise money with the ultimate goal of transforming it into our own brick-and-mortar local game store! Every order is one step closer to that dream.

LGSs have an incredible ability to bring people from all backgrounds together, bonding over the games they love. We want to create a space that fosters good vibes, fun events, and lasting memories. We have plenty of great stories from our own LGS experiences and still remember the warm, exciting welcome we received from the TCG community when we first got into Magic: The Gathering. Now, we want to share those same feelings with others.

Encouraging Inspiration & Creativity:

We include booster packs with every order to help spark that creative excitement you get from opening a fresh pack. All artwork on our playmats and other products is designed by real artists, and we encourage you to reach out if you'd like to feature and sell your designs on our gear!

Support Your Local Game Store:

The greater Chicagoland area is home to many amazing local game stores that we proudly call home. Below, we've listed a few of our favorites—places that have provided us with a welcoming atmosphere whenever we come to play or shop.

We hope to see you there and get a pod going!
