Dicefortuna

In The City, everything is a spectacle, from the extravagant costumes to the grand parades, all serving to entertain the citizens under the protection of The Tendome. However, among the many forms of entertainment, one particular game stands out: ***Dicefortuna.***

In this game, players put their fate in the hands of the dice, hoping for a stroke of luck to determine their outcome. But is it just a game, or is there more to it? Let's find out! *(You can play with your friends! Just be sure to not bet on a matter of life or death, uh?)*

## ***Rules Of The Game***

Dicefortuna is a game played by citizens of all ages, from the lowliest Mud-dweller to the most powerful Gran Maskerer Maestro. The rules are simple, yet the stakes are high. Players must roll a set of dice, with the outcome determining their fate. If the total number is odd, the player is considered to have failed, and if it's even, they are deemed successful. But the catch is that they do not know the stakes of the game until the dice are drawn. It could be a matter of life or death, riches or poverty, love or loss. The uncertainty adds to the thrill of the game, and it's not uncommon to see players returning time and time again, unable to resist the pull of the dice.

A game of Dicefortuna where the Odd/Even values are swapped and the rules are inverted is called ***Backwards Dicefortuna***, sometimes jokingly called *Fortunadice*.

## ***Origins***

Legend has it that Dicefortuna originated from an ancient ritual, in which citizens would cast dice to determine the outcome of wars, alliances, and even Marriages(Yes). Over time, the ritual evolved into the game we know today, but the belief in its powers remains strong.

Some firmly believe that Agnirat, The Mad Creator is the one controlling the dice, and that the outcome of the game is predetermined by its will.

## ***The Casters & Maskerers Duo***

Dicefortuna is not just a game for the citizens of The City; it is also a profession for some. ***Dicecasters*** are skilled individuals who have mastered the art of rolling the dice, and they can manipulate the outcome to their advantage. They often work with Maskerers, who wear special masks that allow them to see the outcome of the roll before it is revealed. Together, they form a powerful team that can win bets consistently and make a fortune.

Despite the success of the Casters and Maskerers, their profession is frowned upon by many citizens. They are often seen as cheats and liars, and their actions go against the spirit of the game. Nevertheless, Casters and Maskerers continue to exist in The City, and their skills are highly sought after by those looking to make a quick profit.

## ***Legacy of Dice***

Dicefortuna has become an integral part of The City's culture and folklore. It serves as a reminder that life under The Tendome is unpredictable and that fate can change in an instant. The game has inspired countless stories and legends, and it is often used as a metaphor for the unpredictable nature of life itself.

Despite its risks and controversies, Dicefortuna remains a beloved pastime for many citizens of The City. It is a game that brings people together, regardless of their social status or background. In a world of masks and uncertainty, Dicefortuna offers a glimmer of hope and excitement, reminding citizens that anything is possible under The Tendome.

// To Add: Hand Gestures & Parole da dire:

Ogni lancio di dado è preceduto da un una frase e rituale, i giocatori "2 TIMES dICEFORTUNA, Dice Fortuna, DAI SFORTUNA!" mentre tengono il mano il dado. Dopodichè stringendosi la mano contenente i dadi li lanciano, I dadi devono sempre essere di colori diversi, l'UNICA SCELTA CHE FA IL GIOCATORE E' IL COLORE DEL DADO E NON IL PARI/DISPARI, VEDI REVERSE DICEFORTUNA

The game is played until one player loses and the other one wins.If there is a draw or multiple draws, the dice are cast again, repeating the ritual and phrases.

## ***The Consequences***

While the game of Dicefortuna may seem harmless, it has its consequences. Those who lose are often faced with dire circumstances, from losing their possessions to being exiled from The City. Some even believe that the game has the power to alter one's destiny, for better or for worse.

The winners, on the other hand, are often rewarded with riches, power, or the admiration of their peers. But regardless of the outcome, all players must accept the consequences of their actions, " *for they have willingly put their fate in the hands of the dice.* "

It's a reminder that in The City, nothing is certain, and that fate can be a fickle mistress. (Yeah, Always.)
