Asmodee Mille Bornes Classic Racing Card Game - Fast-Paced Family Strategy Game for Ages 7+, 2-6 Players, 20 Minute Playtime

I grew up playing this game with my mom and dad... we played this for hours and hours. Then I forgot it even existed... 50 years later, I looked it up on Amazon... and here it is. Easy purchase to make. The cards are EXACTLY the same art as all those years ago... it KIND of feels like maybe they are cutting corners on the card stock, seems fairly easy to bend or damage the cards... but maybe Im just old and clumsy. This game can absolutely be played with two people, but in my opinion is best served with three or four people. Attacking other players cards is part of the game, with only two people, it seems a bit cutthroat after a while since all attacks are just back n forth between the two people... rather than a larger group of four where sometimes you are attacked, sometimes someone else is attacked. When you are just two people attacking each other all the time, it becomes a different kind of game. Still worth it. PRO TIP: If you buy the game, dont be afraid to rewrite some of the rules based on your situation. For example, when we play with just two of us, we allow the Green light cards to also fix any other mechanical or legal problems... otherwise one of you could just be sitting waiting for a spare tire for almost (or all of ) and entire game... and never actually play. Another thing we tried, is, if there are just two of us playing, we take a minute and move HALF of the attack cards out of the deck and set them aside.. so there is less attacks happening and more of the other gameplay.

Such a fun flipping' game! Grandparents wanted my kiddo (age 6) to learn to play as they taught my brother and I to play as kids. It has been well received. However, the game can take a little longer to get through with 4 players when there's no more MPH cards to play especially when the grands won't play any "attack" type cards to cause an accident or run someone out of gas. Makes it hard to sit still when you're 6 or even 44 LOL They're regular playing cards with smooth surface, initially slippery to pick up easy to bend.

Excellent

Great price and a fun game. Fast shipping.

My daughter found this Mille Bornes game from here and remembered playing it when she was small. We have been playing it as a family game and it is so much fun. You try to get to 1000 miles before anyone else but beware because someone can give you a flat, run you out of gas, give you and accident or other things to slow you down. You can play as individuals or as teams. Buy this if you want to laugh and have fun while playing a family game. The cards seem durable and they come in a nice tin to keep them in.

Played this years ago and found it to be great family fun. Back then the cards were actually labeled in French although the pictures made it easy to know what they meant. The game deserves five stars for fun and value -- but in this version a big issue is the lack of score sheets or full instructions inside. Incredible oversight. You should check online and find this from any previous edition, print it and save it. When playing the various cards, you need to lay them out on the table in a way that the missing instructions describe and show. That way you and the other players keep track of your status and progress, which are crucial to know for any kind of strategic planning. That small element of strategy keeps it from just being a game of luck, since it's based on drawing cards from a pile and choosing what to do with them. It's one of those games that can appeal to fairly young players while still being fun for adults. The scoring process is important so look online for those score sheets that the manufacturer mysteriously neglects to include. Allez-y!

Such a fun game!!!!

I started playing this game as a girl, and bought it for my son who also loves it. Definitely recommend

Muy divertido juego que se basa en tomar, jugar y descartar cartas. De estrategia simple y cálculos sencillos (tocar sumar los kilómetros viajados hasta llegar a los mil km), se basa principalmente en la suerte de qué cartas cada jugador levanta al iniciar su turno. La dinámica es básicamente que tratas de sumar kilómetros antes de que los demás te pongan una percance (llanta ponchada, falta de combustible, accidente, etc.). En este sentido, si los jugadores son muy competitivos, el juego puede volverse muy ligeramente confrontacional (con gritos de "ya déjenme avanzar" entre risas malvadas) o un tanto exasperante en lo que esperas sacar esa carta que tanto necesitas, pero si nadie toma muy a pecho las cosas, no hay broncas. En cuanto a edades, yo recuerdo jugar esto con mi familia de niño...tipo 8-10 años de edad. Apenas conseguí el juego para mi familia y mi hija de 12 se divierte mucho. Es de los pocos juegos que ella pide jugar. Supongo que se podría jugar con niños más chicos (a partir de que sepan sumar 100+75+50+25, por ejemplo), pero sí hay un poco de estrategia en cuanto a cuándo jugar las diferentes cartas, además del manejo de una mano de 6-7 cartas y no enseñar a toda la mesa la carta que levantan de la pila, etc. Por otro lado, es un juego un tanto inocente, pero se juega con gusto hasta la tercera edad. Por último, respecto de la calidad, las cartas son de muy buena calidad (hemos jugado más de 20 veces ya y no muestran ningún signo de desgaste), la caja de metal es muy bonita y le da un toque retro al juego e incluso viene con un organizador (de plástico económico pero suficiente) dentro de la caja que protege las cartas y evita que se desparramen por todos lados. ¡Altamente recomendado!

Great game for the whole family.

This was a game I played growing up at the cottage every summer. Just bought the game to teach my own kids - they love it just as much as I do. Great game for counting/adding up to 1000. Easy to follow instructions.

Llevaba detrás de este juego algún tiempo. Visto que en español era imposible conseguirlo decidí comprar este que además tenía un precio bastante más bajo que el español cuando aun se vendía. El paquete podía tardar entre 10 y 20 días y llegó al día que hizo 10 perfectamente protegido. Es un juego muy divertido y para toda la familia. Pasamos unos ratos estupendos. El único problema es que la instrucciones están en inglés, pero seguro que en internet se puede encontrar alguna traducción apañada. En defitiva, una compra inmejorable.

Top game. Largely ignored in the UK. Excellent seller. Thanks for sharing
