I found it!

THIS is the Titanic game i've told several of you about. The colours on ours were darker, but it's the same game.

The site's in Dutch, but i've not found the game anywhere else. It was a lot of fun; we played it all the time growing up.

My father had a fascination with the Titanic, which i'm sure is why we had it; he gave me a copy of Walter Lord's A Night to Remember when i was 10. I read it, several times over the years, but still enjoyed the game.

EDIT: I found a reference to it at BoardGameGeek.com. In English this time. I'll have to look for it when i'm at my mom's again. It may be among the games that are too much for my 6-yr-old nephew.

Gods! I had that game! It may even still be in the game-bench at my Mom's place... I'll try to remember to look when I'm there in 10 days....

Neat! You're the only person i've met whose family also owned it.

oh! I want one!!!

I have a shipwreck fetish fascination, too. I guess it's the usual human fascination with disaster + the safety of knowing it's a situation I'll *never* be in. My boss has a teacup from the Andrea Doria; I was so jealous when she showed me that! :).

I'll see if i can find it at my mother's to bring to next gaming. I remember the lifeboats as yellow rather than white, though i could be misremembering.

I've played that game, though I'm not sure when or where. It was a LONG time ago though.
