How to play?
On the ship, the passengers are pictured on numbered cards, in two sets of First classpassengers and two sets of Second class passengers. They have to be guided and arranged in order and in class, in a line on the decks, so that they could board a lifeboat.
Each round, the active player can:
– either try to set up the evacuation by taking passengers and arranging them in the lines. If he fails in setting up the evacuation, a page of the booklet is turned over and the shipwreck goes one step further. The game end comes closer.
– or do a special action such as equalize the lines, look for a specific passenger in the pile or save time.
Each player has a special ability that helps the party during the game.
