You're in a game, but do you know (Part 26)....

 Board Games!

The Sinking Of The Titanic!  Oh my GOD, how I played this game!  Oover and over.  Each turn, your rotated the upper part (the Titanic) clockwise, and gradually, the water rose up and cut off rooms and corridors.  The player's jobs, as members of the Titanic Crew, was to get passengers, in various rooms, from wherever they were up to the lifeboats at the top of the ship.  And then make sure they themselves get onto a lifeboat too!  As the lifeboats hit the water, they were launched onto the board at the bottom, whether the crew was onboard or not.

Then the second part of the game started: players needed to get their lifeboat to the islands on the board and awaited rescue.

Man, I even remember some of the passengers: a lil boy, a teenaged girl, an old man and woman, among others.  Each had a name and a photo on card or something.  I, being the softhearted kid I was, always tried to rescue the 'vulnerable' passengers first.  But some of the were in cabins the went under water early, so you had to rush to get them.

This was such a fun game. I wish I still had it.
