Mille Bornes® App Reviews

The only problem I found is how the safety card is implemented. Playing a safety corrects the corresponding hazard and also protects against future hazards of this type. However, when the safety is played normally, a Roll must still be played before any distance cards. The way it is implemented here, if a hazard card is in play, many turns later a safety can be played and the game automatically has you moving again as if a roll card is in play. Developers, please fix this!

Love the game, but if youre playing a solo game for 5,000 miles, you really DESPERATELY need a "save" option, so that if REALITY calls and you have to leave the game for awhile, you should be able to save your progress up to that point without having to start from scratch when you return to the game. ALSO, the playing deck should contain the same mix of cards as the board game, and an indication that the deck is being re-shuffled when the cards run out. This board game has been a family favorite for years, and I enjoy playing this smartphone version as a "solitaire" game.

Still love this game and just updated to the latest version. Now it fills the screen of my iPhone 5. Yay! But you guys CHANGED THE MUSIC! No, no, no. Bad move. I liked the music and was looking forward to it. Please, in the next update, give us a choice to pick from multiple tracks or from iTunes.

Play "expert" and spend over an hour waiting for the one card you need. Oh, youll get that card eventually... one turn before the computer player hits 1000. Why pay for lazy programming?

Nice game but the music is awful and even when its turned off it still plays when starting the game. After playing a few days, deleted it off iPhone. Money wasted

Waste of money, do not buy. Rather than make it fun, the developer decided to prove how smart they were and made the algorithm win too much. Only buy it if you like getting beat by the AI way too much

75 to 25 win ratio for computer.

Everyone is bashing on this app saying they never win, yet I nearly ALWAYS do. Yes the deck never runs out but thats also wats fun about it! I will always be a supporter I LOVE this game!

The game is very good, good graphics, challenging but sometimes it hangs when resuming a game and never loads. Then you have to quit out and kill off the process and lose your game in progress.

The game has a very appealing look. Unfortunately, the supply of cards is inexhaustable, meaning that the game goes on and on as you and the computer players try to get the cards you need to finish the race. In the real game, the round ends once all the cards are dealt, and a new round begins. The knockoff version I used to have on my old Palm m105 was more fun to play. This game could have been so much better.

My wife and I love playing the original card game, so I thought it would be nice for us to have an iPhone version to play while our toddler is about. First off, $1.99 is too expensive for such a simplistic game with simplistic options. There are better games at half the price and not even 1/10th of the bugs. The rules are spot on regardless of what another reviewer said (the discard pile does in fact get reshuffled in the original game), but even at the most basic level, it seems drastically unfair. I never lose this often in real life. Id hate to see how frustrating the advanced version is. There are icons in the game configuration screen that dont load all the way and look like something partially put together in Minecraft. The multiplayer option makes no sense. Why limit people to Bluetooth and not allow for game play on the same wireless network? Also, why cant we have 2 live players and 2 AI players? Is it that hard? Additionally, if the other player pauses to answer a quick text or something, they get "disconnected" almost right away and there is no way to get them reconnected! Your choices are quitting or playing both players on the same phone. LAME! There are bugs where once you reach a screen like when youre waiting for another player to join, you cannot go back! You have to close and reopen the app. Finally, there is no personalization so that you can keep track of your scores! Once the game is done, slate is clean. Why not have this work through Game Center and make it competitive? Other games do this all the time. Overall, clunky and expensive for what youre getting. It hasnt been updated since April 15th 2013, which in my mind means this game was abandoned. Dont waste your time and money. Its more worthwhile to play the original card game.

The game is fun, but we can never get the Bluetooth connectivity to work between multiple devices. We have three devices in the household that have valid purchased copies of the app, but every time we attempt to play using Bluetooth, it times out.

Bluetooth stopped working after the update. This is a fun game and its disappointing not to link up and play it easily. Please fix.

Havent tried various difficulty modes but this is broken when trying to host a game it shows waiting but guests are in the game. Bummer!

This is a great classic game. While it keeps me busy, it really stinks that you cant play people online. Try convincing your friends to 1) pay for a game they havent played. 2) set aside time to play against you. There should just be a forum where you can match up against people. It would be 5 stars no question.

Fun to play but still needs improvement. The biggest downfall is you cant save a game. Leave for a while and when you come back a new games loads. This is even if you didnt close the app. Thats very frustrating as I cant always complete a game in one sitting.

This game was one of the only ones with local bluetooth gameplay till the last update. Now it just doesnt work at all. Guess we need to go back to the cards unless they fix this.

I only downloaded this app to play with my husband but I cant so basically just threw $2.00 away. I hope they work on the Bluetooth issue. I like the game.

I love the card game and this app is excellent for your device! Pass and play is really fun. But along with other reviewers I cant get Bluetooth multiplayer to work on ios 7.1 Hopefully an update is out soon!

I used to play the card game and this is a cute rendition of it. Unfortunately players who arent familiar with it might find it bewildering, because the English instructions are poorly written and there is no guide to what the cards look like.
