At 23:40 on April 14, 1912 in the North Atlantic, the R.M.S. Titanic strikes an iceberg. Water immediately floods into the liner's compartments and the ship is listing to starboard in a worrying way. There is no hope about the outcome. On board, there is widespread panic. Solitaire still makes appearances in my life if I have a spare 10 minutes on a journey or I am pretending to work at a computer. Then I heard that Bruno Cathala & Ludovic Maublanc had designed a game about rescuing passengers from the ill-fated Titanic using the solitaire mechanism. If you like solitaire or solo games and are looking for something new (with amazing components) then SOS Titanic is the game for you. This is how you do components for a card game. A beautifully illustrated box, a well written rule book, great quality cards and the grandest playing book you have ever seen.

I've briefly mentioned the fact that you have to "safely" exit the game to make the SOS Shop work without going sad. If you incorrectly quit the game while in battle or in a boss, you WILL go sad and lose your gags. How you safely close the game without losing your gags is by using Task Manager to force quit the game, such that the game acts like you crashed and therefore will not penalize you for it. You've probably crashed multiple times in game and wondered why you didn't go sad or lose your gags. We're essentially just emulating this and taking advantage of it so that we can safely leave the VP to try for a better reward. Once again, should this be the case? Maybe. I'm not sure. But let's just say that it it should be. Playing 'SOS' is one way younger generations can discover fun facts about nature and wildlife, the threats they face and ways to protect them. The game also has Wildlife Corridor cards which mean you can link to other players’ biomes. For example, if you have a forest biome and someone else has a forest biome you can play a Wildlife Corridor and it means at the end of the game if your forest biome is still surviving you’ll get points from the other person’s forest too. If your forest gets destroyed, your animals will be able to migrate down the corridor to the other person’s biome. I love this because it shows how important wildlife corridors are in real life. I want to preface this segment by saying that this is in no way a requirement for SOS Shopping in VP. SOS Shopping can be as relaxed as you want (to an extent), but I want to point out what I have found to be a commonality within all the good SOS Shopping groups I've been in, so that if you do want to be efficient with it, then you can choose to!In any case, the etiquette would be that majority rules and you HAVE to abide by the consensus. If the group chooses to stay, you stay. If they choose to leave, you leave. It would be disrespectful to leave toons behind or stay when they want to leave as both parties would end up with less players. SOS Shopping is about trust that your fellow toons will do the right thing by you. Research shows playing card games helps children increase and develop motor, cognitive and emotional skills. SOS Save Our Species allows children to improve on these skills while igniting their imaginations. SOS encourages them to be explorers, naturalists, collaborators and protectors. If people were engaged in the natural world as much as they are in poker and Pokémon, we could make a positive impact. Post this

I have mentioned some of the negatives earlier in my review but they are very inconsequential compared with the sheer joy of having a great round and rescuing lots of passengers. So does SOS Titanic from Matagot sink beneath the iceberg or cling on to that large floating piece of wood screaming ‘I’m king of the world’? Read on to find out. A Ship Built For Kings I really like this game a lot. It is the solo game I always wanted but didn’t know could exist. It takes one of my earliest memories of games and fills it with excitement, drama and fun.

Taking all of that into account I absolutely love this game. It is essentially solitaire on steroids. SOS' is a family card game emphasizing fun while exploring problems species face today. 'SOS' is published by Wild Dog Games; a not-for-profit games publisher, and has been co-created with the WWF. It’s perfect for those age 7+, requires 2-5 players and takes just 15 minutes to play.
