IDEA

The group concentrate on giving away games that are considered as hidden gems. Hidden gems are:

  • games that you think aren't well known to the wider audience that you played and enjoyed
  • games that you think aren't well known to the wider audience that you haven't played yet but they seems interesting to you
  • games which have mixed or bad reviews for some reasons but you were enjoying them

There are no restrictions how many giveaways members should create per month and what quality or value these giveaways should be. The whole idea is about sharing with other users great games that they might miss. You've found a game that seems intriguing to you? You've played awesome game that seems to be underated? You want to share your trove? Create your giveaway for the group! This is the only rule. A short adnotation why the game should be played would be nice too but it's not obligatory.


RECRUITMENT

Due to the fact that group is very specific we'll be recruiting only people who:

  • we know and trust
    OR
  • are respected users of SG
    OR
  • will be recommended by other group members
    OR
  • will be recommended by respected users of SG

Cheers,
Senpai

I can't really do targeted giveaways (mostly from bundles),neither really want to take part in lots of giveaways, but I would be really intrested in the games recommended if the group will be on - can it be arranged somehow? :D

I'm not so deep in this site and all that so i don't ask for joining but is there a way to see the hidden gems? Maybe you could create a list after the GA has endet.

It might be done :) There'll be a list of recommended games on our group page but maybe I will create a thread on SG too.

I'm going to recommend Knights of Honor. It's like a mixture of Crusader Kings 2, AOE, and Medieval 2:Total War. If your inner armchair monarch just perked up, you are welcome.

Like Adam above, I would be interested in discussions and recomendations. Could the group forums be public-readable to allow others to share wisdom? I like gems but I like them more once they are brought out of hiding into the light where they can shine for all to see.

Yes, we will publish a list of recommended games on our group page and maybe even in a special thread on SG :)

Sounds very interesting to me as well. I just started a conscious effort to make progress on my backlog this year, and I'm already coming across games in my library that I'm surprised I like as much as I do. I don't typically buy AAA games until they're under $5 on sale, so these hidden gems are really my sweet spot.

It sems like a really great idea! I like it! I do have some games, which I enjoyed a lot,but those are kinda missed out games by the common people. If you think so, I would really like to join.

A recruitment thread seem a bit redundant with your recruitment rules, or is it that people need to both be recommended or known and apply in this thread? Respected members of SG also seem a bit subjective but I guess it's simply people that write a lot on the forum.

Ok, I've made an edit in the description :) Didn't think it will be misunderstood :)
Respected users are just users who are active on forums, organizing events, often take part in events, high level users etc.
But everyone can try their luck and apply because life is full of surprises :)

Oh nice. I wasn't really expecting to get invited I'm just odd enough to write random remarks on things that seem a bit odd to me :)
I'll see if I can't figure out something that's been both underrated and a great experience for me. Thanks for the invite.

This is a great idea and I would love to be part of it but I doubt I am known well enough on the site to be recommended.
If there is a way for you to have GAs for group members but put the list of games up for everyone else that would be great.
I'm sure to find some hidden gems, or at least some less well known games, in my backlog of games so I would happily add to the list of games when I can
