In this 2nd installment of our latest deep-dive miniseries, the crew continue to discuss "yahtzee roguelike" Slice & Dice, a host favorite that has made our GOTY list for two years running.

We're joined once again by series guest co-host Darius Kazemi, as well as very special guest Michael Brough (!), whose own roguelike Cinco Paus is one of the cited inspirations behind Slice & Dice. This episode, we discuss the game's curses and blessings system, as well as its links to some of Michael's games, including 868 HACK.

Join our Discord and send in your questions for the Slice & Dice designer tann.
