Too much fun for Islam.
Backgammon involves a dice,therefore it's a game of chance and gambling.
It goes against Muhammads wisdom.
Funny that, all the time I witnessed it being played
"The Historical Significance of Persian Backgammon
Origins of Backgammon in Ancient Iran
Backgammon’s history can be traced back over 5,000 years to ancient Iran, making it one of the oldest known board games. The earliest evidence of backgammon was discovered in Shahr-e Sukhteh, an ancient city in Iran, where archaeologists uncovered a board game with similarities to modern backgammon. This discovery highlights the deep cultural roots of the game in Iranian history. Throughout the centuries, backgammon evolved in Iran, especially during the Sassanid era, where it gained popularity among the nobility and became a symbol of strategy and intellect."
Which is probably why you don't play it, I guess?
