Touring card game rules

I can scan and attach to an email. I found a an original game on ebay and won the bid. Do a Google search. There are a few still available.. The game was updated several times, I have just found a copy of the version.

I wish you had posted a scan of the back of a card. I found this exact game which belonged to my father George Henkel Jr. The game is in fair condition, the directions are worn, but the box and cards are all in excellent condition. That is a treasured find!! Games hold so many memories that last forever! Jenny Kile Admin.

In four and six player games players play in teams of two and must sit across from their partners. That player then either has to play or discard one of their cards. The burning oil, broken spring, and brake adjustment cards remove a mileage card indicated on the card from the player it was played against. If at any time the draw pile runs out of cards, all cards from the discard pile and any Go, Freeway, Populated Area, Missed the Curve, and Stop to Refuel cards no longer in use are shuffled and form the new draw pile.

The game continues until one player or team reaches the miles two or four player games or miles three or six player games. Players have to reach the total using the following cards:. Created back in , Touring is probably one of the oldest card games that I have played. In Touring players go on a trip in their car and try to reach their destination before the other players.

For a lot of people Touring might sound a lot like the game Mille Bornes. It is generally assumed that Mille Bornes is the updated version of Touring since it shares many of the same mechanics of Touring.

Being such an old game I was worried that Touring may be a little outdated. While it was probably good for its time, Touring feels outdated today. To illustrate the biggest problem with Touring I am going to tell you the story of my amazing journey in the game. To begin the game it took my partner and I quite a few turns just to get a single go card.

When we finally got a go card we were immediately hit with a hazard card from the other team that they had kept for when we actually got a go card. It took us quite a few turns to get the cards to get rid of that hazard. We then got hit with another hazard. This continued for half to two thirds of the game.

We actually went through the deck a full time before my partner and I were even able to play a single mileage card. Touring is a special Parker Bros. The game is for two to six players. The rules of play are very similar to that of "melding" games like Mahjong, where the players must draw, play and discard cards, looking to assemble specific combinations of specific cards to win.

The object is to use the game's "mile cards" to complete a race of miles. The deck contains 99 cards. The majority of these cards 51 of them are divided into mileage nominations of 75, 50, 35 or 25 miles.

Another 22 cards are either "Go," "Freeway" or "Populated Area" cards.
