The Game of Dice

One afternoon, in a hall of a thousand pillars, a king gambles away his kingdom, his brothers, himself and his queen. A princess dragged before the court asks a question that no elder dares to answer, and a friend far away hears her call. This is the day the Mahabharata turns, and the road to war begins.
