(or here’s a list of what launched yesterday that might deserve a closer look)


Project: Deckchairs on the Titanic

Designer: Tom Holness

Artist: Miles Hesketh

Publisher: Silver Birch Games

Genre/Mechanisms: abstract strategy, grid movement, moving multiple units, pattern building, pattern movement, print & play, programmed movement, variable set-up

Player Count: 2-4

Solo Mode: no

Complexity: light

Risk: HIGH

Summary: “The year is 1912. The unsinkable Titanic is setting sail on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic, and you have secured yourself the coveted position of deckchair attendant on the first-class promenade. Your passengers will tip you extra for getting their chair in a good place, so you and the other deckchair attendants must compete to reserve the best spots on the promenade. Passengers will pay most for their favorite positions, but you can still earn a few tips if you take someone else’s preferred spot. Most desired of all is the centre spot – you’ll be paid handsomely if you manage to place one of your deckchairs there. Arranging deckchairs is a cutthroat business, and besides, everyone knows this ship is unsinkable!”
