Description:
Along the roads in Europe - especially in France - one sees small cement markers at regular intervals. The French call these markers bornes kilometriques. We know them as kilometer - stones or milestones. Mile - stones show the number of the route as well as the distance to the next town. Their red or yellow color also shows whether the route is a national highway or a local road. These markers give this game its name: MILLE BORNES (pronounced "MEEL BORN") means "a thousand milestones." MILLE BORNES is a card game for 2, 3, 4 or 6 players, usually played as a partnership game by 4 players - 2 on each team. As a driver, you must follow the rules of the road. Namely: You can go only when the light is green. You must stop when the light is red. You must obey speed limit signs. If you get a flat tire, you must use a spare. If you run out of gas, you must refill your tank. If you have an accident, you must repair your car.
In this card game, you must follow these very same rules. And while sticking to them, you and your partner must try to travel 1,000 miles along an imaginary road. But be careful! Your opponents are trying to do the same and will try to slow you down by placing hazards in your path. Your challenge: to accumulate mileage by overcoming these hazards, while also trying to slow your opponents' progress with hazards of your own.
The final object of the game is to be the first team to accumulate a total of 5,000 points in several hands of play. In doing so, you must try to complete a trip of exactly 1,000 miles in each hand played.

Alcerouas: Yes, you right... just unzipped the file and copy the .cab file to your Pocket PC then install it directly from your device.

How do you install this thing? It says it uses windows mobile 5, but when I click it on my computer, it opens up the sync manager for my palm. Do I just put it onto my ppc and open it there?

Trinsec, could you please submit your problem to OrangxaProgramaro forum : http://programaro.ru/forum/, the bug should be fixed.

As per the previous comment I wrote, I couldn't finish a whole game. I've found a way around this. As soon as you're at the score card, where you're unable to click 'Next Turn' and 'More', go load another software in your PPC then close that so you return to this game. The menu will work, and you can continue playing. After the new round is finished, rinse, repeat. It's a bit cumbersome, but at least I managed to finish a whole game.

Pretty nice game. Had to figure out at first what each of those pictures meant, but then figured out quickly enough. Had played this kind of game before in text on Linux and as an old BBS door game. :) There's maybe one issue (for 1.1 for WM2003): After one round, the menu is inaccessible. You can't click 'more' or 'menu', and when the score card pops up you can only click on the 'ok' in the upper right corner, which apparently starts a new game too. This is for every language setting. So I've never been able to get to the 5000 points to win the whole game.
