Buy the Rights
Bringing the Fun of Award-Winning Party Game 'Buy the Rights' to the Next Level Through Innovative Game Design and Exciting Illustration! An Engaging Challenge That's Sure to Entertain!
The Movie Pitching Party Game
Buy the Rights is a super fun party game with engaging game design where you get to be creative. You‘ve got four decks of cards – genre, descriptor, hero and plot – and you act either as Producer and decide which movie idea you like the most, or as a Screenwriter and come up with the best pitch. It‘s time to get creative and find the winning movie concept!
I had to come up with visuals for the game design, from logos to cards and even the packaging. To keep the game casual, fun and friendly, I used bright colors and custom illustrations of possible characters like ‘Super Hero Elvis Impersonator’, ‘Kung Fu Cat Lady’ and a ‘Morbidly Obese Circus Bear’

Creating a Card Game for All Film Lovers
A Pitch–Perfect Party Game Design
I was delighted to partner with Literally Wizards to create the branding and identity of their game, ‘Buy the Rights.’ Having already created a makeshift version of the game to get Kickstarter funding, the team approached me to create a more cohesive and visually appealing game design, and I jumped at the chance to bring this concept to life. I established a fun and lighthearted cartoon visual approach that showcased the game’s potential movie cast of characters along with a collection of Hollywood movie-making icons that were sprinkled through all of the designs. In the end, we created branding and identity that was truly reflective of the game and its fun, whimsical spirit.
A Card Game for All Film Lovers
Play Your Cards Right
The centerpiece of the gameplay is the category cards – they really stand out with bold, bright visuals and distinctive contrasting colors. Each one is covered with custom movie–related icons, and each one is dedicated to a different category: genre, descriptor, hero and plot. They are visually appealing and make it really easy to distinguish the different elements of the game.
Bringing the Game to Life with Funny Money
Pitch and Get Paid
When playing Buy the Rights, players test their skills in pitching movie ideas. They must sell their creative and hilarious movie ideas to the “Producer” using wit, charm and enthusiasm. If the Producer likes your pitch, you’ll be rewarded. with payment in the form of play money. I custom–illustrated the money with iconic US historical figures decorated with Hollywood and movie-related paraphernalia. It’s both a fun and cheesy twist on currency- adding a lighthearted touch to the game.
This game is perfect for a group of friends who want to have a fun night with lots of laughs – it‘s designed for 4–10 players who can commit about an hour for some movie–themed shenanigans!
