Wait a minute where's Davey!!!! JP stands in as Davey is feeling under the weather to continue this episode with the exciting return of Niche Number 1's. Yes they're back for another round.
FIRST PLAYER: Davey (well JP's covering)
OTHER PLAYERS: Adrian & Kerley
OVERVIEW
Niche Number 1's are back and we're here to talk through another round of obscure categories and what games we link to those categories, these include favourite game with no VP's, favourite game you bought on a whim, favourite game you hated on your first play but then liked and much much more. In this episode you'll learn:

- Adrian has been dabbling in a bit of Raiders of the North Sea for more viking fun and games
- Kerley has indoctrinated one of his overseas friend into the hobby in the space of a week
- JP has been caused serious amounts of net damage from Jinteki servers in Netrunner (yes it's a thing)
- The team run through six new Niche Number ones
- And why won't anyone make a board game version of Dizzy The Egg? Surely a missed opportunity here
