In a dream it is loftiness, elevation, honor and standing, because it is one of the games of people of rank. It may indicate what he commits in waking life of mockery or opposition, and it may indicate the company of sinners. Whoever plays backgammon is plunging into a sin, not knowing whether he will be exposed in it or not. They said: playing with anything is cunning, and with backgammon it is trading in sin. Backgammon is a vain affair: if he sees it set up but not being played, they are idle, dismissed people who are not in the right; if it is played, they are governors over men in injustice and cheating, or they are rebels and transgressors. If it is played and he advances or retreats, fighting will appear there with domination and injustice, and the winner is the victor.
(Whoever sees) that he is playing backgammon, it indicates a dispute and evil between him and another, in which he seeks to prevail over a matter of livelihood.
