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.

This collector's edition contains cards with the original 60's artwork (so cool) and has a car-shaped card tray. This great game was out-of-print for several years. I'm glad to see someone is making it again. Grab yourself a copy while you can.

Great game, poor production  Oct 07, 2005 By rd reviewer
Read all the other reviews for game play. This is a great game.

A few notes on production:

1. The cards have the same wonderful graphics as the original game. They are, however, printed on thin, poorly protected card stock. The original game's cards were about the same quality as a Bicycle card deck--meant to last. These are the equivalent of the cheapest deck of poker cards you'd find at a tourist stop. If the game gets played much at all, especially by younger kids, I imagine the cards may not last very long.

2. Only enough score sheets are given to play 4 four-person games. The sheets aren't even scored for easy tear off. I'd photocopy more sheets before playing. If this is what Winning Moves Games expected you to do, the sheets could have been arranged for more economical photocopying.

3. The box the game comes in is much larger than necessary. Admittedly, this is a small detail, but if you plan on traveling with the game much, I'd consider the version Winning Moves sells with newer graphics. The box is about half the size. The tray included in this version is not really necessary for play.

On a positive note, 4 cards are included that detail the game's scoring and situational card play. These are very helpful in play, reducing the need for constantly looking at the directions. Nice job here. The directions are also very easy to understand.

In all, the game is great to play. It's nice to see the old graphics, but for the money I expect better cards.

Great Game, but don't buy this edition  Jul 11, 2004
This is still an excellent game; lots of fun for all ages. However, the "Collector's Edition" is not worth the price--flimsy plastic tray--skimpy, badly printed score sheets. If this is all that's available, I'd say go for it, but I'd recommend looking for another version.

Fun then... fun now  Jun 20, 2000
I highly recommed this game for anyone over age 7. My family played it many times when I was a kid, my parents played it with other adult couples and now my husband and I play it. The game is easy to play and fast paced. Basic addition skills are useful during the game to keep track of how far the other players have "traveled" and for adding up the scores after each hand. Good practice for young players.

1000 Points for Mille Bornes  May 20, 2003 By Susan E. Nelson "bayougirl"
My better-half and I play this game with another couple all the time and we really enjoy it, so much that we wore out some of the cards from the original 1960's game that belonged to his parents and went in search for a new one. I was so pleased that Amazon had this one. The artwork is original, the colors are just brighter (and perhaps our old cards were this bright at one point) and even though the description says that the cards are oversized, they are the exact size of the older set. The card tray is a little odd for actually taking cards from during play, but we wouldn't trade our new version for anything. We're ordering another one as a housewarming gift. If you're looking for a truly retro game, look no further. It's educational too because it requires keeping track of not only your "miles" but those of your opponents by doing some quick adding in your head. Have some friends over, make some drinks and have a blast playing this fun card game.
