As Rob vacates the first player throne JP returns to familiar ground and brings us all into the dystopian future of Netrunner, an asymmetrical card game where a runner (hacker) attempts to hack a shady corporation in order to prevent them scoring their nefarious agendas.

FIRST PLAYER: JP
OTHER PLAYERS: Ian & Kerley

OVERVIEW
In this weeks episode, JP takes on the mantle of first player once again and along with Ian and Kerley they perform a deep dive into one of their favourite games Netrunner.  Prepare to be propelled into the dystopian future and get your hack on.  In this episode you'll learn:
- That Ian has actually played some more games, at this rate he might make it back in the group
- Kerleys kickstarters have all been delivered at once, pretty much
- what Netrunner is and why it's an important game for the group
- to explore all the corporations and runners in the game along with their thematic and mechanical flavours
- What games the group would save from their house if it was on fire

Ah, you dear internet pedants, I can hear your rapid and ever-present desire for infinite emendations and futile attempts to be comprehensive! "What of the expansion, uhm actually," you demand. We have little experience with the Ginkgopolis expansion, and while it adds several modules, they don't add much to the game--if you catch my subtle distinction.

01:18 -The Quest for El Dorado: The Golden Temples (Reiner Knizia, Ravensburger, 2019)
05:52 -Heat: Pedal to the Metal (Asger Harding Granerud and Daniel Skjold Pedersen, Days of Wonder, 2022)

For example, while one generally takes a while to acclimatize to the using the new year in dates, 2022 seemed immediately apt and people switched over effortlessly. 2023 still seems weird, though--as evidenced by the fact that we forgot to change our tags for our 2023 episodes thus far! How embarrassing.
