For this part of the reading I liked the story of Draupadi, how she was married to a man,
who never loved her so she prayed until one of the gods promised her five
husbands, even though she only wanted one. Then later, she is shown to become a
wife of five Pandavas brothers, which was shocking. Later in the epics there
comes to dice battles, which is one of the significant battle of Mahabharata as
the oldest Pandava brother Yudhishthria looses everything over a con game, he
even ends up losing his wife. Then later when the king finds out he grants
Draupadi two boons for all the troubles she went through, where she only used
one to exile to forest with Pandavas. I was thinking about re-creating a story based off the dice game. Maybe come up with a different game, where they do not give away Draupadi.
