Have you heard of this game?

Yes? Cool. And you know why.

No? Just wait 'til you try it. This is a perennial favorite with DH's family. You use the cards in your hand to run what amounts to Wacky Races (remember that cartoon?). You lay down miles for yourself, flat tires, out of gas cards, and other road hazards to your hapless opponents and try to deflect the hazards they throw at you. The first player to get 700 miles on the board wins and rakes in the points. It's addictive. I introduced my extended family to it and they love it.

I am putting this on DH's Father's Day list.

I have always loved this game. Milles Bornes actually means "a thousand milestones" in French, but who's asking. Eye-wink
