Description: New, never used, original film on game piece and card box. Rare, original release, collector’s item. This board game was first released by Ideal with the title of The Sinking of the Titanic in 1975. It reframed the real world disaster in 1912 as a roll-and-move fight for survival between players. The game was pulled from the market and re-released under a new name, Abandon Ship, with all references to the Titanic removed. The box on this one is marked c1976 IDEAL Toy Corp, Hollis N.Y. 11423. The game is played in two phases. Phase 1 challenges players to rescue passengers, gather food and water, and board a lifeboat before the Titanic sank. Once the ship was beneath the surface, Phase 2 began with players racing to win the game by being the first to board a rescue ship with their passengers and rations fully intact. In the Box:A complete Sinking of the Titanic game includes a game board with 2 clips that hold it together, 6 lifeboats, 5 multi-colored player pawns, 5 food and water tokens in each color, Island and Sea adventure cards, and a pair of dice. Instructions were printed separately and included in the box. Note: very slight tear in plastic film on box containing cards and game piece, see photo.
