I played this a ton as a kid, and to this day, I sometimes shout Coup-fourré! when I have an instant rebuttal to something... I knew there were a few different editions, but had no idea there were so many! My family's set is the 1960 design.

Us/me too! The besssst feeling in the world! In the summer of 1997 I actually made my own Mille Bornes card set by hand (after finding the card distribution on the (new) web) to pass the time while studying in Taiwan.

  There is no feeling better than seeing that green diagonal stripe of a safety flash in your hand when you pick a card...it's electric!

Same. Played it so much in the 80s with a bilingual variant of the Callennec design. The cards were beautiful.

My 8 and 11y old daughters love playing it. They really don't mind the old card design. We also built a "circuit" with cardboard where we use my old micro machines cars to visualize our trip. We also play with our own rules where there is no need to find a greenlight after reparing/changing wheel/refueling the car. Otherwise it is always the player getting the 'véhicule prioritaire' (aka firefighters card) who win and it spoils the fun.

  My kids have the Cars movie version of the Mille bornes. In my mind, the Cars design ruins the whole game, it's no longer special to me. Plus it's really hard to tell the card types without looking carefully at the small logos in the corners. All the cards have cars on it! It just feel like any random cheap Disney board game. I'm feeling old. :D
