Coup Fourré!!
Wow, did I just score!

You know at the end of the year at school when teachers are leaving and not coming back, they give away all sort of crap stuff? Well today at school someone was giving away the classic Parker Brothers card game Mille Bornes!

If you've never heard of it, Mille Bornes (pronounced "Meel Born") is a French card game where you and a teammate try and drive 700 kilometers before other team does. We used to play it in high school French, and then my brother and his roommates got a copy when they were buying every old random game off of eBay that they could.

But the best part of this find today is that it's the old-school version with the really cool artwork:

Although apparently some company called "Winning Moves" makes a new retro version of Mille Bornes using the same artwork.

Either way, I totally scored today.

BooooooooooooooooooooWHUP!
