Mille Bornes
You're cruising along at 100 mph, bolstered by an extra tank of gas, when suddenly
your opponent cuts you off with a flat-tire card. You slam to a halt, sidelined until
you draw a spare tire. It's a 1,000-mile race along an imaginary road; your goal is
to arrive first, avoiding the hazards--flat tires, accidents, empty gas tanks--while
inflicting them on your opponents and collecting the spares and repairs that will
speed you on. The absorbing Mille Bornes (French for 1,000 milestones and
pronounced "meel born") has easy-to-follow rules of the road: green means go; red
means stop; obey the speed limit at all times. You might even pick up a few words
in French.
This game is also known as "Thousand Miles", "Thousand Stones", or "Mile Stones".
Number Of Players: 2, 3, 4, or 6

Tommy's Milestones
This card game simulates a 2-person car race through the French countryside. AKA Mille Bournes.
You vs. the PC. You place hazards in the opponent's way, and he in yours, but safeties
block hazards, etc. Hilarious at times.
