Hello everyone !

China, amazing time zone exceptions.

It may be hard to accept, but there is only one time zone in China, although geographically this country is huge and could include 5 zones – there is only Beijing time!

For those living on the east coast of China, it can be very easy to be in tune with the official time zone.

 But people in the western provinces may be uncomfortable.

For example, in Kashgar, the westernmost city in China, you can enjoy sunsets in July until 11 p.m.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

In 2016, the Grand Prix and the Jury Prize disappear as the expert golden ace makes its entrance.

The “expert golden ace prize” was then won by Pandemic Legacy, the child golden ace by Maitre Renard and the golden ace, game of the year by Mysterium.

The expert gold ace rewards games for an audience accustomed to more complex game rules and mechanisms.

Among these “expert golden aces”, we find for example games such as Scythe, Terraforming Mars, Detective, Res Arcana, The Crew or even Dune Imperium in 2022.

This golden ace further professionalizes the gaming world, which continues to progress and always offers more novelties and new game concepts.

Even outside of the golden aces, game creators always have a good idea running through their heads, we are not done being surprised. ;)

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

In 2004 and 2005, the "super ace d'or" (replaced by the "ace d'or" in 2003) and the "game of the year" merged to become the current "As d'or, jeu de the year”.

The game les aventuriers du rail then won the gold ace and game of the year for two consecutive years in addition to winning the Spiel des Jahres in 2004.

The Cannes International Games Festival and the Association Française de Promotion et d’Evaluation des Jeux de Société join their efforts by bringing together the golden ace for the FIJ and the game of the year for the AFPEJS.

The French gaming world then had a single quality label recognized by the profession and capable of seducing the public.

One price so audiences can navigate the ever-changing world of gaming with ease.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

In 1989, the Spiel des Jahres welcomed a new prize.

The "Kinderspiel des Jahres", children's game of the year, arrived in 1989 when the Cannes FIJ was in full swing.

Rewarding in particular games such as The Haunted Staircase, The Enchanted Tower, Beware of the Web, The Stone Age Junior, Icecool, Dragomino or The Hill of Wisps in 2022.

The "Kinderspiel des Jahres" rewards the growth and development of the range of board games suitable for children.

Some often find themselves nominated for the Aces d'or enfants and the Kinderspiel des Jahres, and sometimes even win both prizes like Dragomino in 2021 who won both prizes.

Good day and good game ;)

Hello everyone !

The golden super ace was awarded for the first time in February 1988 at the Cannes International Games Festival.

Super Gang is then the first game in a long series of award-winning games for 35 years now!

There were also prizes such as the golden aces of "imagination game", "friendship game", "adventure game", "letter game", "hope gold game", " interactive board game", "benjamin golden ace", "junior golden ace", "innovation", "dice game", "golden ace of the decade", "family game" and " pawn game” to name a few.

The evolutions of the various prizes awarded have followed the evolutions of the world of board games which became particularly rich in the 80s.

In the early 2000s, the prizes were refocused on a smaller number and the jury became even more professional.

Good day and good game ;)
