FAQ:

What is ShailaCon?

A mini board game convention held in late February, early March every year.

... Ok, it's a group of friends meeting up together to play board games all weekend. Same thing.

Why is it called ShailaCon?

A group of friends who regularly meet up for GenCon wanted to find more time to get together for boardgames outside of the August convention. Most of them had met each other through one friend named Shaila, so the new convention was born.

Why February/March?

The goal was a time for every one together opposite the August timing of GenCon.

Where is ShailaCon hosted?

The first three official ShailaCons were hosted in Columbus, OH, a spot pretty central to all attendees. In 2026 we've booked an Airbnb in Cincinnati, OH!

Is there merch?

Yes! You can pick up a shirt for this years ShailaCon here at TeePublic.
