TEGL Mille Bornes

About this game

TEGL Mille Bornes is an unofficial DOS adaptation of the classic French card game Mille Bornes, originally published by Parker Brothers. The game simulates a 700-kilometer (approximately 435-mile) car race, where players use cards to advance their own progress while hindering their opponents. This digital version stays true to the original card games mechanics, offering improved graphics and a mouse-based interface compared to earlier computer adaptations. Key Features: Gameplay: The game faithfully replicates the rules of Mille Bornes. Players take turns playing cards to move their car forward, repair damage, or sabotage their opponent. The goal is to be the first to complete the 700-kilometer race. Cards: The deck includes various types of cards, such as: Distance Cards: Play these to advance your car by specific distances (e.g., 25, 50, 75, 100, or 200 kilometers). Hazard Cards: Play these to slow down your opponent (e.g., "Flat Tire," "Out of Gas," "Accident"). Remedy Cards: Use these to counter hazards and get back on the road (e.g., "Spare Tire," "Gasoline," "Repairs"). Safety Cards: These provide immunity to specific hazards and can be played proactively. Speed Limit and End of Limit Cards: These control whether players can play 200-kilometer distance cards. Graphics: While still simple, the graphics are an improvement over earlier CGA-based clones, with clearer card designs and a more polished interface. Mouse Support: The game features a mouse-based interface, making it easier and more intuitive to play compared to keyboard-only controls. Two-Player Mode: The game is designed for two players, either human vs. human or human vs. computer. This maintains the competitive spirit of the original card game.
