(More customer reviews)Redneck Life is the funniest board game that I have ever played. I picked it up at GenCon after getting a review from the helpful booth staff, and couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. Tonight I finally got to play it, twice as a matter of fact. I can say without a doubt that I will be playing it quite often. In fact, I plan on introducing it to my entire family over Labor Day weekend.
Starting off you roll for your redneck name (there is an expansion that I don't have yet, but hope to have soon that offers more options) and then you begin to move your pieces around the board. The play style is similar to Monopoly, but it has a hint of the old MAD magazine board game. As you progress you get an education level, a job, get married, have kids, get divorced, purchase a house, and buy several cars. There's an interesting mechanic where your car holds only so many children, and if you exceed that limit you have to add more cars. All the while you are accruing debt, because the payday spaces are few and far between and each child deducts money from your paycheck. Different mishaps can happen that make you lose your teeth, including not having the money at the end of the game to pay off your debt. The player with the most teeth at the end of the game wins.
The pieces are fine (they recommend using beer bottle caps instead of the pawns provided) and the board is laid out with lots of spaces to land, yet it is still readable. I rated four stars for the durability as I am used to the quality of German board games. I also gave four stars for education as it really does a good job of showing what could happen if you don't graduate high school. All in all I would recommend this game to anyone who plays many different types of games and needs something light to play before or after a hard core gaming session. Come to think of it, I would recommend this game to just about anyone that has a sense of humor and likes to play board games. You'll be singing "You can be a loser at Redneck Life" in no time if you pick it up.
