‘Titanic’ Board Games Are Weird As Hell

The game takes place during the sinking portion of the movie, with players working to get passengers into lifeboats. You can play as either Jack, Rose, the Captain, or Cal — yeah, that rich piece of crap who spends the third act literally trying to gun down his girlfriend. We’d rather play “Propellor Guy” than that jerk. Or a “James Cameron” character that allows one person to relentlessly scream at the other players.

If the idea of taking a real-life disaster that claimed the lives of more than 1500 souls and turning it into a product that occupies the same store shelf as Boggle and Doggie Doo seems strange to you, we regret to inform you that this wasn’t even the first Titanic game. There are multiple others, including 1975’s The Sinking of the Titanic, all about surviving the shipwreck and obtaining “food and water by visiting islands” — which isn’t actually how anyone survived the Titanic.
