In a golden shower of confetti, the winners of the most important French game prize cheered on the Côte d'Azur on Thursday evening as the As d'Or-Jeu de l'Année were awarded. The award ceremony is part of the major international games festival that takes place annually in Cannes and is the biggest games event in France.

For many years, a jury of games experts has awarded the prize in four categories. This year too, they tested an immense number of titles in order to nominate three games each for the categories children, connoisseurs, experts and families. One of these games was honoured with the award in its category.
