LinCon is a recurring game convention in Linköping, Sweden. This year it happens May 29th to June 1st. Sign up is now open.
LinCon offers a wide selection of boardgames, tabletop games, shops, talks and roleplaying games. Pre-registration is required for some of these, but you can also show up at the door, cruise the site and play pick up and play games.
Last year was first time I visited. I presented Gotlandia and brought my family along for a few days of gaming and sightseeing. Linköping itself in May is gorgeous. You feel the long history of the well run convention with many returning groups that has this as a community event.
This year I offer three events. You can sign up for these now to be sure to get a seat. Hope to meet a great mix of new and old friends in Linköping soon!
Death of Rapacus
A light weight dark comedy love letter to Ars Magica.
Ambitious, self-centred and distrusting wizards battle it out in a whodunnit not about who killed Rapacus but who gets the blame. Who is left standing when the purple smoke clears? Find out Thursday and Friday 16-20.
The City
No man on is truly free, all are slaves of money or necessity. Public opinion or fear of prosecution forces each one, against his conscience, to conform.
Euripedes
A steampunk drama for four players about the choices we make to fit in.
I will host one group of four players Friday 12-16.
Gotlandia
A boardgame about sheep, pirates and overly embellished churches. Compete to become the greatest family on Gotland before the Black Plague sweeps the island!
Polished and updated since last year, don’t miss this exclusive opportunity to play Gotlandia on Saturday 12-16.
