Golden Ace RSS Feed

As d'Or (Golden Ace) is an award from the Cannes Festival International des Jeux, first awarded in 1988. In its early years, one of the awards was for the best video game.

In 2005, the initiators of the Golden Ace (the Cannes International Games Festival) and Game of the Year (the French Association of Promotion and Evaluation of Board Games) decided to coordinate their efforts, in order to present only one quality control mark, conveniently named: As d'Or - Jeu de l'Année (Golden Ace - Game of the Year).
