The 9th edition of Vichy Pro, a professional gaming convention, took place from September 13 to 15, 2026. The event was covered extensively by Ludovox, a media outlet that produced numerous short videos available on their YouTube channel. This year's convention stood out due to the warm weather, which was a change from the usual early autumn conditions. The area around the palace, where the event was held, was particularly enjoyable, with the construction work on the esplanade now completed. Several games were highlighted for their design and editorial work, including Charlotte Lacroix for her work on Osmosis and Alexandre Poyet for his game Limit. Among the new releases, Melodies by Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance allows players to cooperatively create music through card placement. The goal is to achieve a majority value in each round to follow a musical score. The game is noted for its scenic box design and increasing difficulty levels.
