Reading Notes: Mahabharata, Part B
The dice game was by far my favorite reading we have done this semester. I am a big fan of gambling, and seeing it be incorporated into this indian epics course was really cool for me. Shakuni is playing a game of dice in Duryodhana's place, and Yudhishthira loses everything he owns. I am planning on changing the names of the characters because I think it is difficult to develop a story if you cannot pronounce the people's names with confidence. But centering a story around gambling will be very fun and interesting to do.

Hi Brooks, just a quick note to say I am really glad you are liking the Mahabharata. It is my favorite of the two epics also! And I don't know if you saw in the announcements today but there is a link there to information about the dice game of PARCHEESI and how it comes from India, and also a link to a cool story about poisoned dice you might like! :-)
