In Rights, players lay down cards with different patterns in order to collect majorities and earn points from others who play the same cards.
There is a serious omission in the English rules...they fail to mention that once the end game condition is met (one player has 8 cards in front of them) all players add the three cards in their hand to their display, before anyone makes any payments. This makes all the difference in the world and playing without this rule ruins the game.
