Titanic board game

We all remember James Cameron's massively successful 1997 movie Titanic, catapulting its stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet into Hollywood super-stardom.

Well, Titanic is being turned into a board game with Titanic: The Game. Spin Master Games has used the 1997 movie Titanic for its inspiration for the game, pulling the characters that Cameron used in the movie with players able to play as Jack, Rose, Cal, Ruth or the Captain.

The board game encourages heroism, saving second or third-class passengers is more heroic than saving the people of first class.
Available October 24, 2020 for $25.

Who was Ruth and where is Molly Brown?

Ruth is Rose's mother and I also thought Molly might have been in there.

I suppose if you play as Cal, you can cheat and say at the end: "I always win, Jack. One way or another."

I don’t think anyone would play as Cal on their first go that’s for sure, maybe after you’ve played a dozen times, and then you could completely reimagine him as a good guy, a good samaritan, giving away valuable possessions and going down with the ship.

He liked to give thing away.

Would like to see the option to play as Fabrizio De Rossi, a fictional character from the film. He wins a third-class ticket (along with a pocket knife which he uses to cut lifeboats down). This would be a really good feature in the game imo.

Does Captain Smith go to jail for hitting an iceberg !

It is widely acknowledged that Captain Smith, spent the evening of the disaster at a dinner party in the first-class restaurant, and then in the saloon bar, before returning to his cabin for the night.

My priority would be to save the passengers in First Class.

They're more likely to give you a reward.

Not only a cash reward, but saving a media tycoon for example would’ve got you off the hook in the aftermath, the inquiries, public perception etc, that’s where this board game could be a game changer, a different angle. But no one knows until the game is released. Maybe you have the right strategy, but could backfire, we just don’t know yet.
