Do you have what it takes to make it in the high-stakes world of Hollywood? Find out with Buy the Rights, the fast-paced, fun-filled party game for the movie lover in us all! In Buy the Rights, players create their own movies based on four decks of cards. Each round, one player is the producer and the other players are screenwriters. Using the cards as a starting point, screenwriters pitch their movies to the producer, who then "buys the rights" to their favorite ideas —and in the cut-throat world of show business, only the best pitches win! Come up with an awesome title! Cast your favorite stars for the lead roles! Belt out the heart-wrenching theme song! Act out the explosive finale! Get as creative as it takes to outpitch your friends and make the most cash!
