In 2011, the Spiel des Jahres welcomes a new prize.
The "Kennerspiel des Jahres", game for expert of the year, arrives in 2011 while the Cannes IGF has just added the special jury prize to the golden ace and golden ace child.
Rewarding in particular games such as 7 wonders, Andor, Broom service, Wingspan, Paleo, or in 2022 Living Forest, many of these games are also nominated or even winners of gold ace as well.
The "Kennerspiel des Jahres" rewards the growth and development of the range of board games suitable for connoisseurs.
The IGF will follow this boom in expert games in 2012 with the Grand Prix.
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.
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.
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.
Canada owes its name to the French navigator Jacques Cartier (1491-1557), the first European to explore the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the surrounding lands.
In 1534, he left Saint-Malo, where he was born, landed in Gaspé, a city located in the very east of Canada, and took possession of it in the name of the King of France, François 1er.
A year later, Cartier asked directions from two Iroquoians, who then pointed him in the direction of “Kanata”.
In reality, they allude to the village of Stadacona, the current location of Quebec City.
For lack of another name, Cartier then uses the term “Canada” to designate this city and the surrounding territory.
Tomato, potato, squash, bean, corn, peanut, pepper, cocoa, vanilla, pineapple... turkey, all these products were unknown in Europe, Asia and Africa before the discovery of America in 1492, by Christopher Colombus.
Our food memory is very short.
It is often limited to flavors and products discovered in childhood.
If we make an effort, we go back to a "very distant past", that is to say only to the childhood memories of our grandparents.
This is why the cuisine of the 19th century or the beginning of the 20th century seems to us to be a cuisine that has always existed, the one that our ancestors have always eaten since "the dawn of time".
Most of us are then very surprised to learn that our famous local products are sometimes a recent invention on a historical scale.
Can you imagine Mediterranean cuisine without tomatoes or zucchini? Savoyard cuisine without potatoes? Indian cuisine without chilli? African cuisine without cassava?
This monumental sculpture is one of the greatest symbols of the United States.
Proudly erected on Liberty Island in New York, it is known throughout the world.
But did you know that it had been offered to the Americans by the French people, as a token of friendship?
The iconic statue was built in France for 9 years before being unveiled to the public on October 28, 1886 to mark the centenary of the declaration of independence of the United States.
It was classified as a national monument in 1924 and has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984.
Its official name is "Liberty Enlightening the World", or in French "La Liberté illuminant le monde".
