The Titanic has struck an ice berg and is quickly filling up with water. Evacuate as many passengers as possible before she sinks. This game is the brain child of my good friend Carlos Madrid, a big Titanic fan. When he approached me with the concept I decided to help him realise his game design.

Game Play:
The game is based on a checkers/Chinese checkers concept. Pawns can jump over other pawns and just like checkers it is possible to jump over multiple other pawns as long as a jump point exits. In realistic mode pawns cannot jump over pawns of a higher class, i.e.. 3rd class pawns cannot jump over 2nd or 1st class pawns. 2nd class pawns can jump over 3rd class pawns, but not over 1st class pawns. 1st class pawns can jump over any pawn. In simplified mode any pawn can jump over another pawn regardless of class.
When a pawn is selected it will blink. The pawn will continue to blink until another pawn is selected or there is no other valid move available to it. Tapping on an empty square will move the pawn to that square, selecting an occupied square will select the pawn on that square.
Pawns must be loaded into the eight (8) lifeboats along side the titanic and you must position a crew member pawn on the specially marked boarding squares at the entrances to the lifeboats. To release a lifeboat, move a crew member pawn into the lifeboat. Keep in mind that releasing a lifeboat will keep it separated from the ship for 10 seconds before it reattaches itself to Titanic.
The captain pawn cannot be moved into a lifeboat but can be used as jump point.
Water will slowly move from left to right to indicate that the titanic is filling up. Evacuate as many pawns from the ship as you can before the water reaches the last boarding square. Keep in mind that as the ship fills with water the speed of her sinking will increase.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Pawns and Squares:

Child Pawns: Depending on the style of the pawns movement restrictions may apply, in classic more only a single pawn denotes a child an this pawn can jump over any other pawn. Period piece child pawns may be subject to movement restrictions based on their class if playing the game on the realistic difficulty setting.

Adult Pawns: The adult pawns can be subject to movement restrictions if the game is set to realistic difficulty. In this setting, pawns cannot jump over pawns of a higher class, i.e. 3rd class cannot jump over 2nd class pawns, 2nd class cannot jump over 1st class.
