## Description
At 11:40 PM on April 14, 1912, in the frigid North Atlantic, the majestic R.M.S. Titanic collides with an iceberg, sealing its fate. Water rapidly floods the compartments, and the ship begins to list dangerously. On board, panic spreads, and hope dwindles. In SOS Titanic, you take on the role of a crew member, and your mission is clear: alone or in cooperation with others, you must act calmly and efficiently to rescue as many passengers as possible before it's too late. Time is your greatest enemy!

This card game, featuring a mechanic reminiscent of classic Solitaire, challenges you to arrange passengers on the decks and then guide them to the lifeboats in a specific sequence. Each section of the Titanic has a pile of cards, but only the top one is visible and available for interaction. On your turn, you draw cards from the main deck and try to move passengers off the sinking ship. Failing to rescue at least one passenger or needing to reshuffle the main deck can result in a section of the ship sinking, reducing options and the hope of those still on board. Fortunately, special action cards can be used to intervene at critical moments, turning the tide in your favor. The game ends when the Titanic sinks completely or, in the best-case scenario, when all remaining passengers are saved. Prepare for a race against time and destiny!
