The judging session is happening now in Marseille at the Intercontinental Hotel.
Our 14 jury members arrived yesterday to spend two days playing the 159 nominated games and decide on the categories and the winners.
So, today is a very busy day for Andreas Thorsén, Christopher Dring, Chris James, Eli Hodapp, Jana Palm, Jeff Scott, Joony Koo, Martine Spaans, Nizar Romdhane, Pawel Miechowski, Kim Krogh, Tim Wee Boon and Will Mason.
We received almost 1000 games this year and thanks to the online judging session, we reduced this number to 159 nominated games. The online judging sessions consisted of a panel of 150 mobile gaming experts, each playing around 20 games, so each game was played by and evaluated by a few experts.
Winners will be announced on february 28th, at the 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco.
