The book describes the rules for a number of games in the [[tables (board game)|tables]] family. One notable entry is ''todas tablas'', the equivalent of the Anglo-Scottish game of [[Irish (game)|Irish]], which some scholars have argued has several similarities to modern [[backgammon]] including an identical starting position and the same rules for movement and bearing off, albeit the accompanying image has a different opening layout.<ref name="murray">{{Cite book |last=Murray |first=H.

Players rolled [[pentagonal prism|seven-sided]] [[dice]] to determine the movement of pieces, an example of Alfonso's preference for the number seven.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Sonja Musser Golladay |title=Los libros de acedrex dados y tablas by Alfonso X, el Sabio |date=9 March 2001 |url=http://www.u.arizona.edu/%7Esmusser/ljgradsymp.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060908093455/http://www.u.arizona.edu/~smusser/ljgradsymp.html |archive-date= 8 September 2006 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
