2017 is almost over, so it’s time for our third annual GOLDEN STANDEES! The award show where we give out very niche awards to things we enjoyed this year. If you curious about the previous winners take a look the 2015 and 2016 editions.
We wish you all happy holidays and an epic New Year with lot’s of good times, but don’t forget next week…
the People’s choice golden standees!
We would love to see what games or which content creator you think should be given a golden standee! On Twitter, we’ve had some fun discussions about awards, but it isn’t real until you’ve submitted it! We will share all awards on our social media accounts and make a selection to be published on the website. Don’t be afraid if you feel like you are not “creative” or don’t have art skills! We’re looking to have fun and we all know that a simple stick figure drawings can be just as funny as a great cartoon. You can also take a cool picture, everything is welcome. Remember that we are looking for ‘funny’ awards, not the award for “Board Game of the Year”, etc.
We offer you a *.PNG , a *.PSD template and the font that’s being used. You can download the files here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/f9xybby0wq891id/AAByA6g63GRHvx6PMd7B6RQga?dl=0
The final deadline for contributing your own award is December 29th 2017 and you can send it to goldenstandees@semicoop.com.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to drop us a message. If you don’t have any experience with graphics software, but you do have an amazing idea for an award and want to draw it on paper – that’s fine too! You can just scan your drawing and mention your award name and the winner and we’ll make a fancy Golden Standee for you. If you want to do this, I do advise you to download and print an image of the Golden Standee from the URL above to make sure you are using the right dimensions.
We can’t wait to see what creative ideas you come up with!
We have some free time the coming weeks so we’ll be playing more Legacy of Dragonholt together, which just decided to crank up the intensity and slap us in the face about a wrong decision. We will also have some gaming sessions with friends playing Eldritch Horror (does that game ever get old?) and Pandemic Legacy Season 2. Behind the scenes we’re also planning for 2018 which will have a ton of great Semi Co-op things for you to enjoy!
In this competitive worker placement legacy game, players are citizens that are selected by the Forever King to colonize the vast lands beyond its borders! Players will construct buildings and inhabit a shared village where they will try to score the most points. After playing Charterstone 12 times, you'll end up with your very own unique version of the game that is still playable.

A short but exciting two-player game about a marshal chasing a thief who is trying to escape after a heist. The thief places numbered cards face down while the marshal is trying to deduce which of the cards were played by the thief. Because the marshal also gets to draw cards the thief never knows what the marshal is thinking and if he is about to get cornered!
While a game is only ten minutes long, the amount of bluffing, guessing and deduction make it feel like an exciting chase. This feeling is further supported by the great art on the cards, that when put in order, show the complete chase.
Fugitive, like all other great games by Tim Fowers, can only be bought at:
This narrative adventure game takes place in the universe of Runebound! There has been a murder and you have to figure out who did it and whether it's true that somebody wants to take over the throne of Dragonholt. One to six players can enter this world with bold heroes and be surprised how much story there is to discover in such a box. Will you make the right choices?

This strategic game is all about the life-cycle of trees. Trees need sunlight and that's what this game is all about! You earn points from leaves collecting energy from the revolving sun's rays. This means other players can strategically block you and you'll have to think hard where to plant your seedlings and watch it grow.
