I remember the game more foundly as a child playing it with my Grandmother. Good game for children.
This has been a favorite card game in our family for many years. When the first son moved out on his own - he wanted his own game. Now the second son has moved out and he also wanted his own game. A great testament for a older game.
Always enjoyed this french card game. when I was a young girl,and shared it with my children.Over the years we lost it. and now I found it online.Great fun for the whole family. My 20 year olds areenjoying playing it on family vacations again.
that could possibly happen. My 9 year old got the hang of the game right away and we played for hours. You challenge your competitor on an imaginary raceway through the countryside with all the unexpected accidents, flat tire, etc. There is enough choice within the game to give a personal edge to building up your score. We love it and play it often.
As a child, we packed Mille Bornes everywhere. I was very excited to find the old cards I had actually played with as a child, and the plus (for me). However I am still a little disappointed with the "collector's edition": the card tray is.lightweight, it sure was sturdier in the 1960's, and the score sheets are merely a few pages within the rules booklet. A small box, no batteries needed, you can play it anywhere. For a special collectors edition, they could have included a real score sheet pad, and a sturdy card tray. We played on the beach, at friend's houses, in the car.[By the way, this would be a perfect game to take on lengthy plane rides1] I was very excited to find the original cards, especially the French with the translation on the cards themselves. It was part of most vacations (back in days when there was typically no TV in vacation homes). is that the cards feature both French and English.
A lot of fun: "flat tire." "out of gas." and voila, your opponent is stopped on the side of the road. A good educational tool, with some discrete math (Adding the mileage cards). A quick reference would have been great on the actual cardboard tray, as opposed to having to flip through the booklet each time.
