Described as "the great story of mankind", The Mahabharata tells the story of a long and bloody war between two cousins: the Pandavas of five brothers and the Kauravas of whom there were a hundred. The power struggle ends with an enormous battle that would determine the fate of the world. The Game of Dice traces the journey of the creation of the Pandavas and Kauravas. It is a journey taken by humanity since the beginning of time. A lifetime of choices presented, each with an effect on the rest of nature. Choices faced by each of us even today.
