They must be, since they're used for children's gambling games.

If it were French, it'd just be "Un", no 'o' on the end.doppelgänger;931653 said:Sounds French. Must be evil . . .

Milles Bourne is a French card game with a very specific deck of card. The premise is that you are on a road trip and the object is to travel one thousand miles by playing cards that total up mileage and attack the opponents hand, or defend your own hand.
The name means "One Thousand Milestones".
"One Thousand Milestones. On French roads there are small marker stones giving the distance in kilometres to the next town. In this famous old French card game, players compete to drive 1000 km, dealing with hazards along the way. Draw a card to your hand, play or discard. You must lay a green traffic light to start, play cards showing mileage, dump hazards (flat tire, speed limit) on the other players, remedy hazards (spare tire, end of limit) from yourself, play safety cards (puncture proof), and try to be the first to clock up "

And the decks are all still labeled with their original French terms like "panne d'essence" and "roulez".
And the colors are not red and black, but the sort of colors you would see in...traffic signs and lights. Red, green, that sort of thing.
Must not be evil.
It's a great card game for people who "don't like cards" because it's easy to get up to speed on the rules. Uh...no pun intended.
A board game that's a hit at any party is Sequence.
Of course that uses traditional suits and red and black, so it might be evil...but look at that nice white bread family playing in the advert.
Is Satan just trying to draw in the innocent?
