Editorial Review
First published in 1962, Mille Bornes (pronounced "meel born," French for "milestones") is an auto racing card game whose object, for each team of two players, is to be the first to complete a series of 1,000-mile trips. Each player has a hand of six cards and picks more in turn from a central pile. There are Distance, Hazard, Remedy, and Safety cards, each with various subgroupings, which determine the course of play. This Collector's Edition reproduces the artwork of the original game. The set includes a car-shaped plastic card tray, score sheets, instructions, and deck of 110 playing cards with language in English and French. Bon voyage! --Richard Farr

Customer Reviews

Great family fun, quick and easy to learn and play.
This card game ranks among one of our favorite all time games, our entire family loves playing Mille Bornes, we even bring it on vacation with us. Mille Bornes is fun to play, quick and easy to learn, and you can play a full game in under an hour. It's also quite educational, you need to use some basic math, memory skills and since the cards are written in both French and English you'll learn some new words. You can play Mille Bornes individually or with partners. I started playing in 6th grade and still have my original set, this Collector's Edition is exactly like the original game.

Loads of fun
You don't have to be a Francophile to enjoy this game. I used to play this with my French professor and a few students after dinner. I miss the times we had, playing cards and listening to good music.

Ahhhh...The drawings are as I remember them decades ago!
Although the rules are a little complicated to learn at first, this game is really fun. The vintage drawings on the cards are perfect and fun to look at. The deck is made out of durable card stock however the deck holder used to be made out of very hard plastic. Now it is made out of thin plastic, however to make up for it the card dock is now molded into the shape of a car. I loved this game as a kid and I love this game now. Out of the ordinary! Don't get the newer version, the drawings are lame. Get the vintage, it's worth it!
