Description

Rare French board game in great vintage condition.  The components seem to have had little use and the double-sided rotating disk device is still in it’s original waxed-paper packet! Judging by the number of versions produced over the years, this must have been a popular game in it’s day.  The game includes the original Instruction Booklet (in French).

Description from the boardgamegeek site… “This game was designed by the same author as Milles Bornes (1954), Edmond Dujardin. It was meant to make people more familiar with the driving code. The game won a prize: the ‘Medaille d’argent au concours Lepine Paris 1949’.  The game was an ever-present on the French market under the same name since then, undergoing several editional faceliftings design-wise. The 1949 edition contained 6 small cars in lead, each car for a player. The goal of the game is to take your car to a wedding, to pick up family members and get a present on the way to the wedding. But first U have to get your driving license. This is done by moving on the track on the board and learning/respecting the road code (speed limit, unique direction). Several things can happen on the board: an accident, blown tire,… There also is a garage, a gangster, a dépanneur (troubleshooter) and a gangster that can be met on the board. Vintage game for collectors.”
