There may be a Japanese version and a Spanish version as well.

~~1971 seems to be similar to 1962.~~ ??

There seem to be 6 distinct versions (not counting language or card back variations):

the orignal design of Du Jardin; this seems to be the same as the original 1962 PB release
- (except, of course, that the original version didn't have English translations)
a moderne version released sometime in the 1970s
a pseudo-photo-realistic version released by Winning Moves
a version released by Schmidt-Spill under the name 1000 km etc.
"40th Anniversary Edition"
"Ruta", which seems to be a Mexican knock-off
