Manila

Hello,

I have been looking for the card game La Manille (32 cards) for PC for years, not to play online but to buy and install. It was sold on CD-ROM in a supermarket over 10 years ago, and since then I have never seen a CD of La Manille, neither in stores nor available for download on the internet.
If anyone knows a place to buy it, I would be sure to reward them, as it would be quite an achievement; I’ve come across plenty of fake addresses.

I would like to thank in advance those who have looked without results, just like I have. 
Configuration: Windows XP Firefox 3.0.1

    I have this manille game on a 3.5" DOS floppy disk. It is about fifteen years old and works perfectly on XP, Millenium, and Windows 98.
    Very efficient, you play against the computer. Configurable.

    I believe its price was 12 or 15 Euros. I need to check.

    If you are interested, I can send it to you by email.

      Hello card friend,
      is it manille with 2 players (like on the cartomaniak site), with 4 players each for themselves (manille at 17), or a 4-player team game?
      subsidiary question: can you copy it onto a USB stick (my computer doesn't read floppy disks)?
      thank you

        The game is played with 4 players. Team 1 (player 1 and player 3) and Team 2 (player 2 and player 4).
        It can be set to 50 points, 100 points, or 150 points. You are player No. 3. You can either pass or call. The game is in color.
        I copied the game onto a USB stick and tried it on another PC running XP. No issues. A wonderful game for its time.
        I can send it to you via email for the price of 12.50 Euros. Price paid in 1995: program + 3.5" disk + shipping costs Belgium France
        Best regards

        That sounds interesting. Continuation in private email (click on the envelope at the top right of the screen)

        Is there a problem?

    And what about the compilation CDs of card games? The kind of CDs you find for €5 at the end of the aisles in hypermarkets?
