H O W T O P L A Y

Fantasy Cannes is similar to a fantasy football draft - but instead of drafting athletes with bros, you draft ad campaigns with hipsters.

Each player picks one campaign per category that they think will wow at Cannes this year.

If your campaign wins bronze, silver, gold or grand prix, you get 1, 2, 3 or 5 points respectively. Titanium wins 4 points, and is only used in the Titanium category. If your campaign wins more than one award in it’s category, pick the highest one.

At the end of the week tally up everyone’s scores - the player with the highest score wins!

Print board and stickers

Note: Feel free to edit the categories.

The Lead Up

Assemble the agency.
Research the year’s campaigns.
Choose your ads.

The Draft

Print out as many copies of the board that you need, depending on the number of players in your agency. Stick it up on a bare wall. (You might have to move some actual awards out of the way).

Gather the players - and some rosé - and everyone makes their picks. It’s one campaign per category, but there’s no limit on how many people can pick the same campaign. Write each player’s campaigns on the board alongside their name.

The Week

Each day of the festival as the winners of different categories are revealed, players can stick the corresponding sticker over their campaign. The stickers reveal what award the campaign won, and how many points it yields. At the end of the week, tally up the points and the player with the highest score wins! It’s up to you what the prize is.

You cannes win this!
