Redneck Life (2003)

About this game

Do you say Redneck like it's a bad thing? A roll of 2 dice determines the grade you complete in school, which sets you up for one of 11 fabulous careers such as Mullet Salon Operator or Monster Truck Announcer. Journey through Blue Collar Americana by going into debt to purchase a vehicle, get married, divorced, re-married, purchase a home, and raise a passel of young'ens. Through accidents and brawls, players lose teeth during the game. Buy some back if you can... as the player with the most teeth remaining at the end of the game wins! Some card examples: New business venture: Steal and sell wheelchairs. Collect $300. Accidentally break industrial scale at feed store while weighing yourself. Pay $200 for repairs. You need more time to watch TV You may divide your young'uns between the other players. Expanded by: Redneck Life: Bustin' A Gut! Expansion

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
