The Pandavas and Dhritarastra make peace and part of the kingdom is given to them. The Pandavas build the city of Indraprastha. They are warned of the conflicts that may come from the issue of sharing a wife. Duryodhana is enraged with the Pandavas and seeks revenge on them. He invites them for a game of dice knowing that they are bad players and that he and Shakuni will win.
During the game of dice, Yudhishthira loses everything and in turn gambles away himself, his brothers, and their wife Draupadi. Then for some reason it is all given back and everything is forgotten, not exactly how gambling works but ok. The idiot brothers are invited back for a second game and still accept the offer even after what happened last time. They lose and are sentenced to 13 years of exile. The are taught a mantra to get weapons from the gods and told that all of their enemies will be killed in battle.
