The Daedric Game

There are rumors among Cultists of ancient Daedric game tables that were used to steal the souls of game addicts, by leading them to ultimately bet their own souls, in a game they could never win.

The table itself is made of 2 daedric thrones

In recent times, such gaming tables have been discovered by a few Tamrielic inhabitants, whom gave those tables a more mundane purpose. They set up a number of rules to play the game, as follows:
1. The game is for 2 players, with a third person acting as the "dice roller" (needs the use of a third party random numbers generator)
2. Roll dice, 2 or 3, depending on the crystal color (see nº5)- 1 player at the time.
3. Start from left to right - an odd number gets you to light blue lights, an even number gets you to light the yellow lights. One light can only be lit if the previous one is lit as well.
4. If you get a double, you get to choose between to light your own crystal or turn down your opponent's last crystal.
5. The purple crystal in the middle is a game changer: you roll 3 dice for that crystal and bet if you'll get above 9 or under. If your bet is well succeeded, you light the purple crystal. If you get a triple on your roll, you decide if you want to light your purple crystal and your next one or if you want to reset your opponent's lights completely - in that case, only your purple crystal is lit.
6. Before the game, bets are made on who will win, that initial bet can be increased as the game progresses, but can never be withdrawn. The bet can never be increased by more than a half of the initial bet.
7. The winner takes the gold, the looser a whiff at the skooma bubbler

I just wanted to see if we could play mini-games with the very few interactable furnishings that we have.
I came up with a more complex/strategic one, using lights as well, but I think this one is more attractive as the game doesn't take too long and is easy to understand and play.I'll post it if there's interest in this sort of things
