Elvis was her youngin', just so you know, and it was a noble thing to do seeing as she had merely an 11th grade education and was trying to make ends meet by operating a Mullet salon. I cannot envision another game that has such anecdotal moments as that which I just played, such as when my wife was getting divorced, and when she was asked whether or not she wanted to fuck the lawyer for a $50 discount, she responded, "I ain't no ho, and I ain't sleepin' with no damned lawyer. I just played this game for the third time last night, and I have to tell you, that while it is a really, really dumb game when it comes to any meaningful, thoughtful mechanics, it's so damned funny to play that I have to admit that it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. This game had all of us involuntarily snort-laughing nearly the entire time. Now, I had never heard of these folks, but now that I have, I'm going to keep an eye on them. ![]() After ten minutes of conversation involving the merits of Kentucky Pillow Talk ("Git off me Paw, yer crushin' mah smokes") and other aspects of country life, I was offered a copy The Redneck Life to review. Turns out that no, he isn't a Kentucky resident, he was the spokesmodel for Gut Bustin' Games offerings, The Redneck Life, Trailer Park Wars, and O Gnome You Don't. I had to stop and ask what the hell the dude was about. But still, if you get into the role-playing and like to let loose, and aren’t easily offended, give this a go.At Origins, I walked by a booth that had on display, for our amusement, a mullet-topped hilljack with a tobacco stain on his already pit-sweat stained wifebeater tank top. It isn’t one you’ll replay with the same people over and over, and the game even comes with an optional rule to roll 3 dice to speed up play. But if you aren’t easily offended, pick this one up. So, you may have gathered… This game isn’t PC… REALLY isn’t PC. Another player landed on all the moonshine spaces, and every card they drew had something to do with alcohol. Someone took that card from her, so she drew another, and ended up stealing wheelchairs and selling them, making $300. The last game we played, my 13 year old daughter ended up stealing her first vehicle, drew a card which said she had stolen a bunch of beer from the back of a truck, then she snatched someone else’s vehicle when she lost hers, and drew another card which said she picked up a hitchhiker and robbed him! At the very end of the game, she drew a card where she would have gained $200. I know this is random, but it does seem to happen a lot as we play. You might be the bass fishing guide, and pick up the trout painted station wagon, and suddenly you’ll find your “Go Rednecking” cards will go with your theme. We have found that as you do this, you’ll find things crop up for people again and again giving them a “theme”. Break out your best redneck accent and role-play your way through this one folks. You roll the dice & do what it says to do. ![]() The great thing about both of these is that they are *acutal* real life, no we ain’t lyin’, places and vehicles.Īs to actual game play. It also has homes which you have to purchase when you marry. You have to purchase enough vehicle space to tote your young’ens around. The game comes with great sets of vehicles from “Uncle Clem’s Rodeo”. If the space says stop, then you stop and find the chart that tells you step by step what to do. If it says “Go Redneckin”, then you draw a “Go Redneckin” card and see what happens. Roll 2 dice, move your token and do what the space says. You get an education (2nd to 12th grade), get a job (anything from taxidermist to clerk at the Ciggy Shack), get married, have lots of kids (mostly named Darrell, Darryl, Darrel, etc.) borrow money from “Uncle Clem”, and try to end the game with the most teeth. Get an education, get a job, marry, have kids, make money and try to end the game with the most money. Redneck Life is a hilarious twist on that old favorite. ![]()
