LincCon - Game Convention
Share
When the true gamers come out of hiding to game, this is where they gather. LincCon Gaming Convention is a concept of old school meets new school!!
LincCon Gaming Convention started in 2011 and has been a mainstay in the Merrill area's gaming inner circle. Hundreds of attendees continue to support the growth of our amazing little event. Going from a single conference room with a few dozen gamers hanging out to now hundreds in attendance with a full weekend of events and special guests of honor has been a wild ride! Dozens of Vendors join us each year from local game shops, artists, comic stores, crafters, as well as people selling their own used games/goodies at our buy/sell/trade sections! LincCon is a general game convention that focuses on our amazing Retro Video Game Museum. We have several dozen game centers set up with everything from Pong to current gen consoles. Multiple game generations tournaments and high score challenges over various consoles from obscure to household. You ever seen a SuperGrafx, Famicom, OUYA, or Atari Jaguar all running with stacks of games to play? If not, you need to check it out! We also feature tons of table top gaming with events and sessions of board games, strategy war games, RPGs, card games, and party games. Various games like Vampire, Magic The Gathering, D&D (AD&D and DnD 5E), Pathfinder, Empire Builder, Tsuro, Pandemic, Zombies, Boss Monster, Dragon Dice, Werewolf, Secret Hi**er, and many man more! If you haven't played Werewolf with a few dozen people in our gaming dungeon, you should really check it out! Most years we feature multiple days events over an entire weekend from the morning until night. We like to say we're open from 10am-10pm on event days, but really we're all around gaming until "Bar Close" so you can expect to game until the wee hours of the morning! We hope to see you all at our event(s) well into the future!!

We need to thank Molly's incredible work at MS Graphics for the yard signs we put up this year! LincCon and EVERCON Gaming Convention use MS Graphics for flyers, banners, and signs. Give them a link, and if you're in the area in need of some printing, get in contact with Molly. She's amazing!
MS Graphics No project is too small to benefit from good design.
