I used to play with exactly the same cards as a kid! Brings back good memories.
I had forgotten how good this game looked. Many hours of playing and contemplating these beautiful designs (instead of concentrating on the game).
See also France’s “Edition Spécial” version of the game.
Hello!
The combination of the fonts and pictograms is really nice. Now and then.
I love this version of the Cards and the game very much. As my father did, I now play it with my son.
Best,
Stephy Marzian
Here’s Stephy’s photo of the German version, “1000 Kilometer”. Thanks for sharing!
I think the claim of American basis is probably misplaced as most card games originated from European countries anyway.
It would appear from this article that original thought was required.
I am definitely taken a trip down memories isle’s with this game, SAD thing for me I can only find 4 cards, and I so want to get my wife to play it.
Would absolutely love to keep a full set of language sets and a second English set to play with
