A cross-country race through France sets the stage as you earn mileage points, overcome traffic hazards and sabotage your opponents! Play 1,000 miles of cards and you win the game. This special Collector's Edition of Mille Bornes brings back the bright and charming artwork of the original 1962 cards. The cards are poker-sized, the rules booklet is easy to read, and the score sheets are large and convenient--just like they were in the original game! Not to mention, a unique car-shaped card tray! Features oversized cards with original 1962 artwork. Play with 2,3,4 or 6 of your friends.

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.

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.

Summary: Loads of fun
Comment: 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.

Summary: Ahhhh...The drawings are as I remember them decades ago!
Comment: 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!
