LinCon is a board gaming and role-playing gaming convention that takes place in the town of Linköping, Sweden, every year. I decided to visit and see what you could find!

LinCon is not the oldest nor the biggest convention in Sweden, but it's been going strong since 1984 and it attracts close to 2000 visitors every year. Dragon's Den is the gaming association behind the convention, and they do their best to make an inclusive event that's welcoming for everyone.
But primarily, welcoming for role-playing, board gaming and tabletop miniature gaming geeks!
The sheer amount of different games as this convention is staggering, and you need tons of time to even test a fraction of everything that's for offer. In this video I try to give you a very brief look at everything from imported Japanese board games, to Blood Bowl competitions, to Middle-Earth Strategy Battle and a lot more.
There's also some digital gaming to be found - arcade games, motion control games, and other esoteric games like Touhou bullet hell games.
I also have a quick look at the merchandise that's for offer, as well as TableHack, the game developer room, and the game flea market / auction.
