 Funniest Board Game I've Ever Played Aug 29, 2007
By R. G. Somebody
"Feegle"
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.

hillarious Sep 21, 2007
By Mr. Kevin L. Chapman
this is probably the funniest game i have ever played. When i first played it at a convention, myself and the guys that were playing with me each bought a copy because we laughed so hard we nearly wet ourselves. from cards like judge an actual hog calling contest between other players to doing a springer show and getting red-headed step kids named "darryl" it is a great time for the whole family.

HILARIOUS Jan 06, 2009
By leftfoot
This game is really funny, even just with 2 players.
You go around the board and stop at various "stages", similar to regular Life. However, you end up with jobs like a gas station manager or Mullet Barber. Along the way to the end of the game you get married, get divorced and get married yet again - and roll to see how many step children you get. There are also "Go Redneckin" cards that can either help or hinder your progress. The player with the most teeth at the end of the game wins.
I've played this with 2-6 players and every time it's hilarious! It's a great time and demanded every game night.

Good for laughs Sep 11, 2008
By L. French
I bought this for my sons 16th birthday as a gag gift.
Have one person read all the instructions first it will help the game go faster. A very interesting and fun game... It really involves everyone playing. It will rarely be the same game twice since their is so much variety in the game. Better than monopoloy or the game of life because this game will be done in about an hour thats with 4 people playing.
Some cards would be inappropriate for small children but we just took those out so no big deal. I would say that it would be for those 14 and older. Fun.
