Trailer Park Wars for 14 years and older

Such a goofy and fun game!! I am so happy I learned about it at a friend's house and immediately went on here to buy for myself!!

I played this game originally at Gen Con 2016, and enjoyed it so much I had to purchase it.If you're easily offended by stereotyping or anything that isn't politically correct, this game may not be for you.If, however, you can poke fun at political correctness and have a good sense of humor, this game is a must.You begin the game with several trailer cards (the number depends on how many players) surrounding a random marquee name for your trailer park. You are dealt seven cards, and each turn can play up to three cards and discard one card if you like, then draw back up to seven cards. The cards can be tenants, (which can be always good (i.e., handsome cop, or strong handyman), always bad (i.e., meth head, wannabe rapper), or situational (i.e., the old couple could be good tenants, but might become neutral if housed beside a band)), amenities (above ground pool, donuts on Friday), or events (tornado, power outage, alien abductors). Each card either has flamingos in the corner (pink for positive, black for negative) or in some way affects the number of flamingos you or another player has. At the beginning of each turn, flamingos are counted and the object is to have the most pink flamingos. The real fun of the game comes in putting bad tenants in your neighbors trailer park and inflicting disasters on them, all the while trying to have the best tenants in your own trailer park. The game ends when there are no more flamingos available.Its a simple game that is easy to learn and plays quickly, but is very fun. Add it to your library beside with such classics as Lunch Money and Villainy.

A beer and pretzels game, teaching no moral values whatever. *** Each player is a trailer park owner or manager, and the inspector comes around every turn dishing out pink yard flamingos. When the pile of plastic birds is gone the game ends. Player with most flamingos ( which are like rating stars ***) WINS!~ Acceptable code of conduct for play includes, but is not limited to, sending raccoons and alligators into your neighbor's park; luring good tenants into your own park, sending awful tenants into your neighbors park such as meth lab tenants , putting cranky old tenants next to the rock band in your neighbors park, stealing your neighbors hot tub and cigarette machine; and somehow influencing Mother Nature to send tornadoes to wipe out your neighbors trailers. *** A game of pure fun , trash talk, and revenge robbery, TPW "Trailer Park Wars" is an all ages classic. Just taught the game to my 80 year old woodworking neighbor, who caught on and won his first game. Definitely worth the small investment to purchase the board game. There are game expansions for it that are next on my wish list. Purple flamingos and terror in the trailer park after my buddies learn the basic game. Hope anyone reading this enjoys the game as well.

If you have a good sense of humor and aren't easily offended, this is a hilarious game. We play it with our 9 year old and she gets a good laugh too. We also have Redneck Life and recommend that one as well. Redneck Life is easier to learn and to play, Trailer Park Wars takes a bit more time to understand and play, and setup is a bit longer.

Fun game that is not for the easily offended. Trailer Park Wars involves you owning your own trailer park where you add amenities that are then worth points (the points being represented by tiny pink plastic flamingos, what else?) and good tenants who are worth points, while trying to give bad tenants to the other trailer park owners and make bad things happen to their trailer parks, like an alligator infestation, for example. There are small cardboard name markers where you draw a 1, 2, and 3 to put together your trailer park name, then lay out your trailers that also have names and pictures ranging from nice trailers to rusting junks about to fall down. You can have good folks in your trailer park or bad ones. Some are worth more and some are worth less depending on your amenities and some of them can get "hitched."One thing I noticed was that, once you have your park going, you tend to get a lot of points per turn, hence having tons of flamingos all over the table. Once all the flamingos are gone, the game is over. I did buy the extra flamingos (because of the reviews here), but decided after playing the game to adjust it so that, instead of playing three cards per turn, you can only play one--thus having to decide if you want to improve your park or ding someone else's. This results in less points per turn and so the flamingos last longer. I'm also thinking of getting something else to represent, say, 10 flamingos so that you can turn in some and have something else sitting at your trailer park...such as a tiny garden gnome.I also think players should be allowed to use the 1-2-3 name cards to create their trailer park name or just make up their own. You do get to add your own names to one set of the cards, which I did, but I think there is more room for creativity in allowing folks the pick of naming their own or using the name cards included.The instructions are pretty easy to figure out and anyone should enjoy this from those in their late teens to ? Some might be a bit offended by it, but those people aren't my friends, that's for sure.

Great game! Both parents played with a 13 and 12 year old. The 5 year old was assigned flamingo wrangling duties. The game cards are hilarious and the instructions were easy enough for us to follow after reading through twice and keeping them out as a guide. I really enjoy the game and the kids do too. I highly recommend. I wouldn't involve kids under maybe 9/10 depending depending on your experience level. My 5 y.o. is happy to count and distribute flamingos (and play with the unused units), but he wouldn't be able to manage his own park.EDIT: 5 y.o. is now almost 9. Still a great, fun game and he is now running his own park better than most IRL managers. Very clever game, lots of fun.
