The game was created in 1954 by Edmond Dujardin as 1000 Bornes, and is almost identical to the earlier American automotive card game “Touring”
Mille Bornes was very popular in the United States, at one point outselling Monopoly.
The objective of Mille Bornes is that the players are in a road race. Each race—or hand—is 1000 miles (or kilometers) long. For two- or three-player games the goal is shortened to 700, with an option for the first player to complete that distance to declare an extension to 1000 miles. Mille Bornes is played with a special deck of cards. There are hazard, remedy, safety, and distance cards. Each hazard is corrected by a corresponding remedy, and can be prevented from happening in the first place by a corresponding safety. The target distance is reached by playing distance cards.
