QR Code Link to This Post
Mille Bornes is a classic French card game where players race to be the first to travel 1,000 miles. Players build their "driving zone" by playing distance cards but must first play a green "Go" (or "Drive") card to start. Other players can hinder progress by playing red hazard cards, such as "Stop" or "Out of Gas". To overcome these hazards, players must play corresponding green remedy cards, like "Drive" or "Gas". The first player to reach 1,000 miles wins the current round, and the overall game is won by being the first to accumulate 5,000 points from multiple rounds.
Card Categories
Distance Cards: These green cards show values of 10, 20, 30, or 40 miles and are played to accumulate your total distance.
Hazard Cards: These red cards are played against opponents to stop their progress. Examples include "Speed Limit" and "Flat Tire".
Remedy Cards: Also green, these cards are played on top of a hazard card in your own driving zone to remove it and allow you to resume playing distance cards.
Safety Cards: These blue cards, such as "End of Speed Limit" or "Spare Tire," can be played onto your own driving zone to protect yourself from specific hazards.
