Passes On The Rights

Forget armies and dice—here, your currency is legal authority. In Passes On The Rights, you take on the role of a power broker, managing a roster of individuals who hold various rights such as property titles and electoral sway. Every turn, you decide who gets what, shuffling these legal claims between characters to strengthen your faction's position. The catch? Every move you make can be countered, and alliances are as fragile as a signature on a contract. Success hinges on reading the table: predict when an opponent will try to strip your rights, and know when to sacrifice a minor claim to secure a major one. The twist is that rights can change hands unexpectedly, and a character you thought was loyal might be swayed by a better offer. With each play, you're building not just a collection of assets, but a web of obligations and debts. The game rewards patience and cunning, offering a cerebral challenge for those who enjoy outthinking rather than outgunning.

What is Passes On The Rights

In Passes On The Rights, you broker legal power, not battles. Manage a cast of claimants, trade rights like property and voting, and watch for betrayal.

How to Play

Each turn, select a right from your pool and assign it to one of your characters, while also considering which rights to pass to opponents to gain an advantage. The game ends when one faction controls a majority of the total rights.

Tips for Playing

Hoarding too many rights makes you a target; spread your holdings to stay under the radar.
Watch for characters that gain bonus power when holding specific rights, and pair them wisely.
Don't hesitate to trade away a seemingly important right if it forces an opponent to waste a turn.
Keep an eye on the voting rights—they can flip the balance late in the game.
Form temporary alliances, but always prepare for the moment they break.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main objective of Passes On The Rights?

The goal is to accumulate the most significant legal rights across your characters by the end of the game. You do this by trading, assigning, and sometimes blocking transfers.

How do rights get transferred between characters?

Each turn, you can choose a right you control and pass it to another character, either on your side or an opponent's, depending on the action you pick. Some actions allow forced transfers.

What happens if an opponent steals a right from me?

When a right is stolen, it moves to the opponent's character, and you lose that claim. You can try to reclaim it on a later turn by using a counter-action.

Are there any special rights that give extra powers?

Yes, certain rights like the Voting Block or Property Deed grant bonus abilities, such as extra actions or immunity from theft for a round.

Can I win without holding the majority of rights?
