Scholars differ General principles
Scholars differ. Many forbid it when it is played for money (as gambling, 5:90) or if it makes a person neglect prayer. The Shafi'i school permitted it as disliked, and the other schools often forbade it. Games that cause no sin or neglect are allowed in general, so avoid betting and keep prayer on time.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْخَمْرُ وَٱلْمَيْسِرُ وَٱلْأَنصَابُ وَٱلْأَزْلَٰمُ رِجْسٌۭ مِّنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنِ فَٱجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿٩٠﴾
Enyi mlio amini! Bila ya shaka ulevi, na kamari, na kuabudu masanamu, na kupiga ramli, ni uchafu katika kazi ya Shet'ani. Basi jiepusheni navyo, ili mpate kufanikiwa.
This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
