The premise is simple: each of you must place your deckchairs on the first‑class promenade, and of course, the competition is fierce. Every spot has a different value – the center is the most coveted and pays handsomely. You have to plan carefully, moving your chairs on a grid board, and you can move more than one at a time, adding a layer of strategy. The game demands pattern thinking: where to place your chairs to form sequences that score more points, while also following movement patterns, as if each chair had its own programmed personality. The initial setup changes each game, so nothing repeats. It’s an abstract strategy game with a nautical theme that brings that maritime adventure vibe. Being a Print & Play, you can download, print, and assemble in minutes, ideal for those who want to try something new without spending a lot. In short, if you love planning, pattern building, and a touch of Titanic history, this is your next challenge. The grid movement and the ability to move multiple units at once ensure each round is full of strategic decisions, while the variable setup keeps the game fresh. ## FAQ ### How long does a game last?
