Enfilade 2019 Recap: Part 1 - Other People's Games

Enfilade 2019 wrapped up on Sunday and it was another well run and attended convention. This year there were 380 attendees. After years of having around 200-250 attendees, the convention has moved up to have 350-400 people. Most gaming periods were full of games and gamers. There were only a few empty tables in a couple periods. Overall, the convention remains healthy and it sounds like there will be more general games days coming up in 2019.
A quick view of the hall on Saturday
As per my normal Enfilade recap, I’m doing two Enfilade posts; one on the general convention and other people's games and a second covering the games I ran or helped with. This post will cover the general convention stuff.

The theme for 2019 was Winter War, so there is a lot of white in the photos (which washed out some of the figures). I getting photos of some games and some photos didn't turn out, but I tried to get as many photos as I could to show all the different games. Note this is a long post with lots of photos.

  1. Good photos, and you even documented what each one was (something I would probably have missed).

    1. For convention photos, I always like to include a little information about the photo in the caption. It makes it easier for people to go search for more information. I hate it when I see something interesting, but there is no way to go find out more about it.
