The Connecticut Festival of Independent Games took place this past weekend at Elm City Games in New Haven, CT. Geek Fever Games ran the show and managed to fill every corner of the facility with games and demos. I went there with my oldest son Evan to play some games and help judge the event.
There were dozens of games playable at the event, but the best of the best were given awards. The winners are listed below. Follow the links to their respective websites for details on the games, but keep your eyes on Engaged Family Gaming for write ups for each of these games in the coming weeks!
