How it Started and The "Why"

About Mullet Camp, from BoardGameGeek:

Mullet Camp is a lighthearted, Southern-themed card game for 2-4 players built around friendly competition, unpredictable twists, and humorous characters. Players collect beer can tokens while navigating special character abilities and event cards that can change the outcome of a round. The game is designed to be easy to learn while creating memorable moments through player interaction, bluffing, and well-timed surprises. Players compete to collect beer can tokens, which serve as the game's victory points. Each round begins with a lead player choosing a card to start the trick. Other players must follow the required suit when possible, while special cards and character effects can disrupt the normal flow of play. Winning tricks and using Cattywampus cards strategically are all important to building an advantage. Cattywampus Cards introduce unexpected rule changes or chaotic events that can quickly shift the balance of the game. At the end of each round, you get more victory points by the cards you accumulated winning tricks. At the end of the final round, the player with the most beer can tokens is declared the winner. -description from the designer
