It is not permissible to play with, sell, or acquire games that carry beliefs contrary to the creed of Islam. One must be cautious of them and keep children away from them. These games promote false beliefs such as predicting the future and resurrecting the dead, and they target the Islamic creed. Muslims must pay attention to these means and find alternatives derived from the Islamic creed to protect children.
