The cards
Inside the box you will find cards in two different formats: the big ones, sized 56×87 mm, and the small ones, sized 44×68 mm. Those sizes are standard, so you will easily find sleeves to protect the cards.
The big ones are Passengers and Place cards.

6 Place cards mark each player with a color.
The small ones are Sinking and Lifeboats cards.
Sinking cards simulate the water flowing through the leak, the biggest danger for the Passengers.
Lifeboats cards are used to show the characteristics of the wooden boats (number 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16), of the launch (number 2) and of the collapsibles (B and D).
Tokens
Inside the box a cardboard punched board contains all the tokens needed during a game.
8 Order tiles set the dropping order of the Lifeboats: in this way the order is random so each game will be different. The random variables raise the re-playability of the game but they still let players to use their strategies.
10 Water tokens represent the water inside the bulkheads of the Titanic, from which the Passengers are escaping.
9 Bonus tokens are modifiers that help the players to sum the victory points at the end of the game.
20 Help tokens represent the objects and the people helping the survivors to escape.
6 Crowd tokens move around the squares of the board, representing the crowd trying to escape for their lives.
18 Time tokens are used in combination with the wooden pawns to show if a Passenger is aware of the danger and so if they can jump on a lifeboat.
Pawns and dice
21 pawns, in shaped wood, in four types and six colors. Each type represents a passenger class, showing the differences between I, II and III class, and from the crew. The models used for the pawns is original and it was studied expressly for this game, based on the historical research on the iconography of the Titanic. A cut let you insert the Time tokens, to distinguish the pawns during the game. There are only three pawns for II Class passengers, in three different colors, because they are used only on a three players game.
Four dice, in pad-printed wood, have the six side colored. The colored results let the Passengers move through the squares of the game board.
