Rev the engine eagerly, waiting for the green light to send you hurtling across the countryside. Keep the tank full, find your way around the speed limit, and avoid the accidents that will slow you down. Keep the pressure on full, and be the first to make it 1,000 miles!
Mille Bornes is the classic card game of cross-country racing. Keep a green light handy in case you get stopped and play a tire puncture on your opponent to keep him from getting ahead. Protect yourself with safety cards, and save one for the classic Coup Fourré. Play your cards right, and you'll be the first to cross the finish line and be the master of the Mille Bornes!

A retro French card game detailing a long distance car tour (French terminology is embedded in the card graphics, though its easily playable by English speakers with the English language rulebook). Easy to comprehend process: goal of being first to drive 1,000KM avoiding obstacles like red lights, punctured tires and running out of gas.
The game is fun, engaging and–after the initial challenge of getting familiar with the rules–becomes an easy game playable by 6 yr olds up to adults. Varied point values for different card plays keeps the outcome of the scoring from being a foregone conclusion as to who will win.
The luck of the draw and strategic card play really does vary the experience from possibility of a very quick trip to being stalled and needing repairs for many turns of the game.
Definitely fun for families; or just for adults…Also a real nostalgia trip for those of us who played it as kids in the 60s and 70s!
