There is a hadith from Burayda by Imam Muslim in his Sahih,
"Whoever plays *Backgammon* is as one who dipped his hand in swine's blood".
I gather from this that, games of chance & playing with dice may be Haram. Is this true/correct?
> "O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones,
> and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination― of Satan's handiwork:

Isn't the admonishment in the Qur'an against Gambling only? And surely this means with property or money.
Otherwise, Snakes & Ladders, a game children play with dice would be Haram.
