We presented ZeusAI at the 2025 and 2026 editions of the Play Festival in Bologna, where the bravest visitors had the chance to challenge ZeusAI in a live demo. The final scores were 18-1 (in 2025) and 18-3 (in 2026) in favor of ZeusAI.
At the 2026 edition, this score included a special match against Board Game Arena champion D1EGO84, ended 2-1 in favor of ZeusAI.
