The RMS Titanic was the most luxurious, grandest ship in the world. On April 14, 1912, four nights into her maiden voyage, the Titanic struck an iceberg. Two hours and forty minutes later, she sunk into the sea, taking 1,496 souls to the bottom of the ocean. What caused this modern marvel to sink? There are many answers; the responses as vast as the ocean itself. Travel back to that night of April 14, 1912, and prepare your lifeboat with necessities, save passengers, and discard excess baggage to escape the sinking ship. Learn fascinating facts about passengers who don’t often make headlines, collect vital equipment from the early 1900s ocean voyage period, see items from the ship's true manifest, and discover what it was like to sail RMS Titanic – and how people survived the horror. The card deck contains 70 cards for 2-4 players. Players receive a Lifeboat card, then play to gather a number of survivor cards and equipment cards while discarding luggage cards. Each card has a point value. There are two ways to win using points and strategy. The game is based on real life incidents (each survivor is correctly matched with their actual lifeboat, for example) and years of research into Titanic's history. —description from the publisher
