Default [RRS] Mille Bornes

I'm looking in particular for a game I *THINK* was called Monte Carlo. I can't find any of the old info-mac disks I used to have, nor can I find any info online. Mac garden doesn't have it either from what I can tell.

1. It was for mac. Probably shareware. Infact almost definitely shareware.
2. It was this race game based on cards. I'm pretty sure my grandparents had an actual card game that it was based on..
3. You had to manage gas and other factors by drawing cards. I think.


Anyone? What game is this actually based on?

I concur. Milles Bornes is a very famous European card game which was imported oversea here ages ago.

That's it!

I think I was confused by the name because my brother and I called the card version Monte Carlo.

You know, because it's a race. Right?

Anyway. Thanks. That's the one.

A fresh pair of eyes is probably all I needed. I was too far gone to think of, you know, things that made sense to put into google. Thanks for the help.
