Mahabharata
Vidura was never considered eligible for king because his mom was a handmaiden, but he was a member Dhritarasthra's court. However, he was loyal to the Pandavas. He kept them from burning alive in Duryodhana's plot. The Pandavas moved back into the wilderness and faced dangers there like a monster. The monster's sister like Bhima and wanted to marry him and decided to rescue him from the monster, but Bhima could not leave his family. Bhima fought her brother and slayed him, then married Hidimbi. They had a son.
The rest of the family left and was taken in by another who pestered by a cruel chief named Baka who required high taxes. The queen wished Bhima was there and then he appeared. He defeated the chief with a tree. The family came out of hiding to win the fair bride in Panchala, Draupadi.
Drupada hoped Arjuna would marry his daughter, so he made a great bow because of the great Pandava archer. Many men tried, and Karna was able to pull back the bow. Arjuna did it still disguised as a brahmin but Drupada recognized him. Their mother accidentally promised all her sons to Draupadi, so all five became her husband. She had a son with each of them. Her father used them to secure his kingdom.
Life with 5 husbands is hard and Arjuna messed up and went on a exile in the jungle for 12 years. He met Ulupi, the daughter of Vasuki, king of Nagas, and spent time with her. They had a son named Iravat. Vasuki had gifted that he would never be overcome with any animal of the water. So when he was bit by the crocodile that was actually a nymph he won. The crocs coulc not be nymphs unless he dragged them to shore.
Arjuna marries Chitra, the daughter of the King of Manipur and they have a son. The king was scared to have his daughter marry him because he wanted the royal succession to live on, so the son stays in Manipur. He also married Krishna's sister by stealing her, Subhadra, who was going to marry his cousin Duroydhana. She had one son with him, Abhimanyu.
Arjuna and his BFF Krishna defeated the demon Maya. He built a palace for them and made their cousin even more jealous. Their uncle Durodhana could not find his way around it well. As the Pandavas became so powerful their wife's dad decided to declare himself supreme ruler. He invited his enemies to his palace to tell them and when they objected they slayed them.
Parcheesi can cause a gambling addiction. He invited Yudhishthira to play against Duryodhana. He lost everything, even his wife, which was illegal. She was not a fan of the circumstances for she did not do anything wrong and was being punished. Bhima swears terrible oaths and tries to get revenge. There is a second match but it went just as bad.
