What is LinCon?
LinCon is a yearly convention with focus on analog games. It’s hosted in the University of Linköping. There you can play games, browse different nerd stores and much more!
From May 28 to June 1 Mindstage will be there hosting 25(!) tournaments in Magic the Gathering.
Together with Svenskamagic we are running the Swedish championships in Modern, the store champhionships, and three RCQ:s to name just a few of the heavy hitters! Check out the full schedule below!
NOTE:
– To play in any of our Magic events during LinCon you need to buy a ticket to the convention itself. There is a discounted combo-pack with the LinCon Ticket + Modern Nationals that you will find among the ordinary LinCons tickets.
– If you are in a Store Team then you are already good to go. No need to buy any entry fee to neither Nationals nor LinCon!
