Backgammon
Backgammon in a dream is a game of chance and craft together, and the old books read it as meeting cool hospitality while visiting, yet winning unlooked-for friendships. The dream tends to ask where we are playing a long game with others, and what unexpected bonds the play might turn up.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for backgammon, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of playing backgammon, denotes that you will, while visiting, meet with unfriendly hospitality, but will unconsciously win friendships which will endure much straining.
If you are defeated in the game, you will be unfortunate in bestowing your affections, and your affairs will remain in an unsettled condition.
