Redneck Life is a simple board game with a humorous theme and laissez faire mechanics. It, goodheartedly, pokes fun at an American subculture; it is genuinely funny, especially if you are, or know people who fall into that subculture. Redneck Life produced a lot of laughs in my gaming group, and is an easy game to pick up and play.
Unfortunately, there are very few meaningful choices for you to make in the game. You roll the die and see what happens. The entire game is almost entirely random; character generation, what occupation you have, and most of the various events that take place throughout the game are entirely random. You don’t have much control over the outcome of the game, and that limits its replayability.
Redneck Life can be fun, and it doesn’t require much thought, but its appeal wears off fast. Redneck Life is more of a ride than a proper game. It is a fun, hilarious ride, but one that you will likely only take a couple of times before boring of it.
You can find Redneck Life here, on Amazon. The game is for 2-6 players.
