Some reviewers said the graphics are a bit slow - others said they didnt like the way the graphics looked/worked (no "tabletop" view for example.
I partially agree. The view, in my opinion, is fine. I would LIKE to see the option of a tabletop view (like Millarium, for example) - but the existiing graphics, sound effects, and music are just fine.
Where this app FAILS MISERABLY is in adheering to true Mille Bornes rules.
1. Cards are random and never ending. There should be the correct number of cards - correct number of each type of card, etc. Follow the rules - one time through the deck ENDS a hand.
2. The game goes to 1000 miles no matter what. Again, FOLLOW THE RULES - at 700 miles a player should have the option to extend the game for extra points or end it there.
3. Dont automatically "coup ferre" for me. If I dont see it, and miss it, thats PART OF THE GAME!
Bottom line - If the makers of this app would update it to follow the Mille Bornes rules properly, its be a GREAT winner. Lacking that - I have to say that I dont recommend it.

Update - 9/27/14 - Ive pretty much ignored this version because it doesnt follow the rules or have a true deck with the correct card count for each type of card. Unfortunately, with the introduction of iOS 8, the Millarium app(a good version of mille bournes no longer available) no longer works. This forced me to go back to this version. I was disappointed to discover that the issues have not been resolved. Super unfortunate since everything else about the game is pretty well done (graphics, music, etc.) - If theyd just fix the game so that it is true to the rules, it would be a 5 star app.
