Hi people, this is a random post about an ownage card game known as:
Mille Bornes Card Game (Fin de Limite game)
General Information: Mille Bornes is a french card game about racing cars.
How To Play: The premise of Mille Bornes is that the players are in a road race. Each "race", or hand, is usually 700 miles or kilometers long (1000 for the standard 4-player game), but the first player to complete that distance exactly has the option to declare an extension in which case the race becomes 1000 miles, hence the name of the game which means "one thousand milestones". The object of the game is to reach 5000 points, which normally takes several hands. Alternate playing style: The object of the game is changed to getting the most points(distance), this playing style is suitable for beginners who are addicted to Fin de Limite, which is very common.
Cards: Mille Bornes is played with a special deck of cards. There ar 4 types of cards: Hazards, Remedies, Safety and Distance Cards(km stones)
Hazard Cards:
Accident (Accident) - Prevents an opponent from moving until he gets a Repair Card(remedy card)
Out of Gas (Panne d'Essence) - Prevents an opponent from moving until he gets a Gasoline Card(remedy card)
Flat Tire (Creve) - Prevents an opponent from moving until he gets a Spare Tire Card(remedy card)
Speed Limit (Limit de Vitesse) - Prevents an opponent from moving until he gets a End of Limit Card(remedy card)
Stop (Stop) - Prevents an opponent from moving until he gets a Roll Card(remedy card)
Remedy Cards:
Repairs (Reparations) - Repairs a wrecked car caused by Accident.
Gasoline (Essence) - Fill a car's empty fuel tank, caused by Out of Gas with fuel
Spare Tire (Roue de Secours) - Replace a punctured tire.
End of Speed Limit (Fin de Limite de Vitesse) - Cancels the effect of speed limit (The most famous card of this game!)
Roll (Roulez) - Allows a car to move after using a remedy card and also required to move at the start of the game.
Safety Cards:
Driving Ace (As du Volant) - Renders Accident cards useless.
Extra Tank (Citerne d'Essence) - Renders Out of Gas cards useless
Puncture-Proof (Increvable) - Renders Flat Tire cards useless.
Right of Way (Vehicule Prioritaire) - Renders Stop and Speed Limit cards useless. Unlimited rolls are also awarded.
Distance Cards:
25 - Moved 25km
50 - Moved 50km
75 - Moved 75km
100 - Moved 100km
200 - Moved 200km
Gameplay:
-The game starts with every player drawing 6 cards, at the end of each players' turns, they must have 6 cards in their hand.
-When no cards can be played by a player, he must discard a card and draw another from the deck.
-Multiple Hazards/Remedies can be used.
-Under no circumstances may a Distance card be played that would put one's total over the race goal of 1000 km.
Play continues until either:
One player (or team) reaches exactly 1000 km in total Distance cards; or
Every player has played or discarded all his cards.
Note that play continues after the draw pile is exhausted, each player playing or discarding one card per turn. (For official gameplay)
Stocks: Currently only Niel has this ownage card game.
Fin de Limite de Vitesse!
Lol. Shaun continues the post here (sulk and complain if you want, because I don't give a single damn).
Ok. Now, I'll talk about the chalet because it was where we played that game for the first time in our lives (except for Niel because it was his). And this will actually be my second account of the chalet because I did one on my own blog.
Tuesday morning: We met at Pasir Ris MRT because it was the nearest MRT station to the place, noob. Due to some crap that cropped up, Chong Wei came late and so we checked in late. We spent the time waiting crapping around at Whitesands, and we learnt how to play Werewolf (which I think most of you guys know) from Ben (which I think most of you guys know too).
It was slightly later than lunch when we checked in and it could've been later if some jerk didn't force us to get out of the office to check in because we were making a din playing Werewolf in the office waiting for the key to check in. Clayton, Chong Wei, and Wen Xiang and all the non-202 people except for Ting An took one room; we took the other.
We played even more Werewolf after I figured out how the prehistoric, ancient, Xbox replacement DVD player worked and got it to work somehow so Ying Wei could blast his MCR album that he brought.
Then some people went out for some gay crap that I don't know about because I was in the room watching Ocean's 11. And I dosed off. How cool.
When I woke up, the movie was still playing so I continued from there. The people who went came back and we watched the rest of the movie together.
Dinner was screwed. Because no one bothered to eat because we were all stuffing our faces with junk food like instant noodles a while ago.
We played Werewolf (yes, even more) and then the girls except Ting An went home.
And then Ting An hogged up the bathroom by showering in it for 30 bloody minutes. That is gay.
FINALLY, WE PLAYED MILLE BORNES, OH THAT GAME OF SUPREME AWESOMENESS AND OWNAGENESS!
We played that when Ting An was showering her ass off.
Then I showered after playing a round of Mille Bornes (not to mention losing that round too) and wore my damn cool American Idiot t-shirt of much awesomeness that I am most proud of.
We made quite a large amount of noise, enough to wake TTS and Ben up. And then we watched the Day After Tomorrow, to which Shriram was really disgusted with the conclusion where the protagonists lived, though he enjoyed the ice age things.
K. Gtg to bed now. Tomorrow continue.
Continuing now:
So today is Wednesday, where I woke up freaking early at 4 a.m. only to find Reuben crapping about with his middle finger (he wasn't masturbating I assure you). The moment I woke up, he gestured me the middle finger. That is a rather good way to greet Bush when you meet him. We went into the toilet to play dai dee because Ting An complained about light pollution and all that sh-t, and so we could only leave the toilet light on. It kind of reminded me of Saw except that the toilet in Saw was grimy and stuff all over that still makes me disgusted (though I'm not disgusted of the gore which rocks).
By the time everyone woke up, Dylan started hogging up my phone (which was a good thing so that the astro teacher couldn't call me), telling me the worthless crap about his location; that he arrived 5 km away from where he was supposed to meet, at the Expo.
Somehow, the entire of the class went except for Chong Wei and Clayton and Wen Xiang. We ate a pile of McDonalds for the sheer sake of breakfast and then went back, to play more (you guessed it right, Werewolf). By then, Des Mon Dee and the girls that I seriously don't give a damn about their identity arrived. Then some girls went to Wild Wild Wet (in my opinion, was boring like sh-t because I went there 2 weeks ago). Then we guys went to the park where Shriram got his damn cool scar on his knuckles and face and knees, all thanks to Ben.
We went back after getting sick of soccer and then the girls told us that they were going cycling, I mean, do we seriously give a f--king damn whether they cycle or not?
We played ... (that's right) and then Alex came and they came back.
Then after more iddling around (here, Shriram, Dylan and I got stuck outside in the balcony for a while for a reason I wouldn't like to explain because it might bore the sh-t out of you), the barbecue.
It rocks. I sort of played around with the fire, attempting to set the whole damn place on fire, but I failed miserably because the toilet paper wasn't good quality to burn. The fire just didn't liked the paper. Then, here comes the f--king interesting part, Alex and those people told racist jokes so loudly, I think everyone within a proximity of 10 meter radius, could hear it. Somehow, it later got transformed into gay ghost stories that seriously freaked out Heidi and Serene and Ting An. They were so damn paranoid they couldn't stand someone knocking on a door. Ha noobs.
I don't know how, but during the June holidays, halfway, I sort of got impervious to horror things. So Final Distination and Shutter and Ju-On and Saw and the Passion of the Christ doesn't freak me out anymore. It's like, I sit in front of the TV, and it's like "WTF so gay". And then there I was looking at three maniacs screaming their asses off when they heard someone knock on the door and I thought "WTFLoL stupid noobs". Damn cool larh. BTW I don't know why but I've suddenly grown a serious disgust for chinese ghost movies that usually feature women with white faces and damn long black hair. It's a retarded manifestation a ghost can have. In fact, the idea of ghost movies is just retarded. At least exorcism movies make more bloody sense. Gory movies make the most sense because centuries ago, scientists have proven the existence of blood, whereas, up till now, the prove of ghosts with long black hair and white faces is still yet to be discovered.
So when the girls left (and majority left) the remaining played Mille Bornes and dai dee which was damn fun without all the din. Then we watched Ocean's Eleven which rocks and then we slept.
The next day, we went home after breakfast at McDonalds. Sad. That sucks ass.
The other emo takes over from here, presenting the beginners' car guide:
Introduction to cars (Gasoline-powered):
Carl Benz is credited for the invention of the modern-day car (gasoline-powered). Carl Benz is the founder of Mercedes-Benz, a luxury car manufacturer.
Chassis ("Body"of the car):
There are different types of metal used to make the chassis, depending on the criterias for the chassis. If a lightweight chassis is desired, aluminium alloy is used (E.g. Jaguar XJ). If a strong and stable chassis is desired, steel is used (E.g. conventional cars uses steel chassis (it is the cheapest and most reliable option)) If a lightweight yet strong chassis is desired, carbonfibre is used (formula one car chassis optimises carbonfibre (it is not a cheap option however))
EDIT: now currently being edited by a guy with no basic grammar while type letters.
guess who- right.
hmm. lawlawlawlalwalwlalwwlawlalawlwawlwa CHALEETTTTT clalet! CHALEY!
SHAAAAAH LEHY
hm. btw shaun, dylan was at expo coz his mom dropped him there coz she was going to work. and um. you suck for ponning astro NUUUUUB.
By the time everyone woke up, Dylan started hogging up my phone (which was a good thing so that the astro teacher couldn't call me), telling me the worthless crap about his location; that he arrived 5 km away from where he was supposed to meet, at the Expo.
WRONG....
By the time everyone woke up, Dylan started hogging up my phone (which was a good thing so that the astro teacher couldn't call me because, truthfully, Dylan is probably the most pwnage person ever in the world and he rocks) telling me about his location; that he arrived 5 km away from where he was supposed to meet,again, because of his pwnage-ian brilliance, he arrived at the Expo, because KINDLY, he decided to hitchhike along with his mum as she went to work so he wouldn't waste any extra fuel taking a train being the kind and compassionate person he was. Gosh. Dylan rocks.
thats correct.. Nice post, Shaun.
