About the game

What you do in a play session

Eternity isn't for the faint of heart, especially in a trailer park! In Trailer Park Gods, you and your friends vie for the most coveted throne in the afterlife: the 'God of Trailer Parks' (which, let's be honest, looks like a rickety fold-away picnic chair). To reach heaven (or whatever exists after a life in a trailer), you have two options: be the last one standing, crushing the competition and eliminating all other claimants, or be the first to achieve a positive 'High-Falootinosity' rating – a title that, in the trailer park world, could mean anything from running a successful pyramid scheme to owning a shrine dedicated to Earl.

The game is a festival of 'Take That' mechanics, where cunning and sabotage are your best friends. Use your cards to trip up opponents, steal their followers, and thwart their grand schemes. Collect 'Advancements' that sound as glorious as they are dubious, like a 'Scamway Distributorship' or a 'Televangelist Ministry'. The goal is clear: climb the ladder of success (or afterlife) while everyone else sinks. With simple rules and quick games, Trailer Park Gods is perfect for those who enjoy a lighthearted, chaotic, and laughter-filled game where player elimination is part of the fun and strategy often boils down to being the least bad or the luckiest to reach the trailer park glory podium.
