  "textContent": "The evening prior to the opening of the Festival International des Jeux, an annual game convention in Cannes, the jury for the As d'Or — France's game of the year award — holds a ceremony in the Palais des Festivals where the Cannes Film Festival takes place in order to announce the year's winners.\n\nFor 2026, the winner of the main prize — the Jeu de l'Année — is **_Toy Battle_**, a two-player game by Paolo Mori, Alessandro Zucchini, and Repos Production. The winners for the other three awards are:\n\n  * Children's category: **_Mooki Island_**, by Florian Sirieix and Scorpion Masqué\n  * Intermediate category: **_Zenith_**, by Grégory Grard, Mathieu Roussel, and PlayPunk\n  * Expert category: **_Civolution_**, by Stefan Feld and Deep Print Games\n\n\n\nCongrats to all the winners! (If you're curious, I wrote about my love of _Zenith_ in July 2025, but I've yet to play the other three games.)\n\n• • • • • • • • • • • • • •\n\nLike what you read?
