The back had said the cost of losing to the game was the very life of the player themself. I believed so anyways, the wording was awkward. "The losing party wielding the dice shall the deed of the dead," is what was written. This was the only part that confused me, but I deduced that it had meant they, being the player, would die. The prize for winning on the other hand, we had no idea. It wasn't written anywhere, not a single mention of it. I didn't care. I just wanted to win. My father had taught me that victory could and always would be a reward in and of itself. That, and to never cheat. I'm sorry, father.
