You're cruising along at 100 mph, bolstered by an extra tank of gas, when suddenly your opponent cuts you off with a flat-tire card. You slam to a halt, sidelined until you draw a spare tire. It's a 1,000-mile race along an imaginary road; your goal is to arrive first, avoiding the hazards--flat tires, accidents, empty gas tanks--while inflicting them on your opponents and collecting the spares and repairs that will speed you on. The oddly absorbing Mille Bornes (French for 1,000 milestones and pronounced "meel born") has easy-to-follow rules of the road: green means go; red means stop; obey the speed limit at all times. You might even pick up a few words in French. Nostalgics beware: Anyone who owned an earlier version of the game will miss the acid-green plastic cardholder and the oversize cards. Mille Bornes is for two to six players.

I wanted to buy my grown nephew and myself sets as we played the original version when he was little. The new set is very durable, the cards are thick. Yes, it does have the French translation on the cards, which I liked about the old version. The pictures are still really fun, even though they aren't the original ones you might have played with. I read other reviews that the Collectors' Edition is sort of flimsy and wouldn't last (the cards and the card holder in the shape of the car) So I bought the new version and am very pleased.

I'm in my 50s and I've been playing this fun card game since I was just a kid. It's great fun, and now my own kids are fans of the game as well. It's a card game in which you are traveling in a auto race across county. The object is to lay down distance cards to total 1000 miles before your opponents. However, along the way, your opponents may try to slow you down by giving you a "speed limit" card or try to stop you with hazard cards such as a "flat tire", "out of gas", or "accident", and you must get the proper remedy card to resume play. It's a fast moving game with a minor amount of strategy. It's anyone's game to win right up to the end. A real classic that your family will enjoy for years to come, like mine!

When my husband and I were in high school we used to have Mille Bornes card parties with our friends. It was a lot of fun and I enjoyed the fact that it was a game that was like no other. This would make a great gift also because there are no worries about whether they already have one because chances are they don't. Most people have never heard of it. I look forward to playing it again with my own children. It is a game that adults can enjoy with children.

Love this card game
Very happy to find this game at Amazon. It is quite expensive for a card game but frankly, it was worth it for me. I played this game as a kid but it was lost over time. Read more

Great Family Card Game!
I never played this game as a kid, but did watch others play it. We're an avid card playing family so I thought I'd get it to see what it was all about. Read more

Worst rules ever
Nice game. Fortunately, I sort of remember how to play it from when I was a kid; the rules are frustratingly confusing and unclear. Read more
