Who we are

Chaos Goblin Games was founded by Amy Lynn Tompkins as an online trading card retail business in 2020. That business grew exponentially during the Pandemic. Then, in 2022 it became a beloved game store in the sleepy town of Pleasant Valley until, in May 2025, it was clear the business needed to relocate in order to continue its growth, and to best serve its communities. After a year of searching, and strategizing, that same business moved in the Poughkeepsie Plaza under a new name with the clear purpose of building somewhere that every member of the family will enjoy themselves and find something they love.

Woman-owned, and highly curated, Chaos Goblin Games is a business dedicated to the idea that everyone deserves to feel safe. Everyone deserves to feel valued simply because they are human, and that everyone has a right to enjoy themselves in comfort. To achieve this vision, Amy has worked diligently to build a space that is welcoming to all, and which features the best, and often most unique, toys, hobby items, and gaming supplies on the market.

As every parent knows, growth is not without its hiccups, but it is the joy we find in our most chaotic moments that makes it worth it. Chaos Goblin Games is dedicated to harnessing chaotic joy so we can achieve chaotic good.
