#2I 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.

#4nothing screams "professional" like putting quotes around French spelling mistakes.
What's the point here? That a French editor doesn't know the gender of the word "édition"? Highly unlikely.
I'm very grumpy today.

#5We played this a lot with my babysitter growing up. It's fun for kids, and the graphic design on the older editions is so slick and jet set era. But I'm a little weirded out by this, because I've heard about Mille Bornes twice in the last week, and not a single time in the 30 years prior to it.

The French editor didn't brand it as an «édition», no spelling error on its side.

#7We played a lot of this when I was a kid… our edition had the 1960s French artwork. When my sister bought a new copy a few months back to play while my dad was in the hospital, she made sure to find one with the classic artwork. It really is a lot more charming than newer styles.

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

#9French here, I recently read the original description of the game from an original edition of the game when I went to a friend’s old place, and I was laughing out loud for real.
The description is brilliant! Just the right amount of self-derogatory arrogance needed to make me laugh :)
I had played it before, but it was the first time I read the original rules book.
