Customer Rating:      Summary: Fantastic Fun Comment: 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 are
enjoying playing it on family vacations again.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Mille Bornes is great fun! Comment: 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. that could possibly happen. There is enough choice within the game to give a personal edge to building up your score. We love it and play it often!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great memories! Comment: As a child, we packed Mille Bornes everywhere. It was part of most vacations (back in days when there was typically no TV in vacation homes!). A small box, no batteries needed, you can play it anywhere. 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.
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).
I was very excited to find the old cards I had actually played with as a child, and the plus (for me!) is that the cards feature both French and English. 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 quick reference would have been great on the actual cardboard tray, as opposed to having to flip through the booklet each time. For a special collectors edition, they could have included a real score sheet pad, and a sturdy card tray.
Customer Rating:      Summary: brings back memories Comment: We used to play this game when I was a child and it is fun to have it again and to play it with my children. I am happy I found it on Amazon.com
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great family fun, quick and easy to learn and play. Comment: 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.

Features oversized cards with original 1962 artwork. Play with 2,3,4 or 6 of your friends.
