I lost the game.
I lost at cards.
When do you use "at" after lose, and when not?
I lost at cards.
When do you use "at" after lose, and when not?

I've never really thought of it, but here's some examples
"ugh. I lost at smash brothers"
"I lost the race" (it has to be known which race youre taking about)
" I lost at Monopoly"
" I lost the game"(when it is known which your referring to)
I think you use "at" when you're being specific, and "the" when you don't say the name of the game.
Like
"Game" (could be cards, board game, video). "I lost the game" in reference to these.
"I lost at Monopoly/cards/smash brothers" (they ARE games).
hard to describe, hope this helps
