Weak keep or possibly Merge to Kurukshetra War which this event set off. This perhaps reads like a Game of Thrones spoof... But it is much older lore. This is covered in sources - e.g. this book, [1], [2], [3]. Icewhiz (talk) 16:36, 31 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- This recounts a significant incident in the Mahabarata, one of the two great Indian epic poems. It is thus not WP:OR, but has a source, which ought to be cited. The extent to which the epic is history and the extent to which it is myth is debatable, but its existence cannot be denied. I would be happier if this were about dice games more generally, but the antiquity of dice games is only covered very briefly in that article. Perhaps the problem is that we do not really know a lot about what games were played with dice in antiquity. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:49, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's completely unsourced and a glaring exhibit of personal work. But Wikipedia is not the apothecary of random-people's writing. -The Gnome (talk) 06:23, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
