Rights of Losers is a trick-taking game where players earn points for having the majority of chips around cards played to a grid on the table. More specifically, it is a must-follow game where the players who do not win a trick place influence chips into a grid. The winner of a trick chooses two cards that were played to the trick and adds them to the grid; the winner may also avail themselves of one special action. At the end of the hand, the cards in the grid are worth the number of points shown, and those points are granted to the player with the most influence chips around the card. The player with the most points after 1 round wins.
