Welcome to the wonderful world of Titan

I received this game for Christmas last year, and quickly became a fan of it.   Unfortunately, my gaming group has yet to be inspired to play a multiplayer game of Titan, so I decided to create a gamebox for it.   This proved to be very time consuming.  There are many elements to Titan: characters, maps, and masterboard.   The masterboard (main mapboard in Titan-ese) was going to be the most difficult challenge of all until I found a respectible bitmap version of it on a Titan PBeM site.    The counters and maps weren't very difficult, there's just a lot of everything in Titan!

NOTE: there are now two versions of this gamebox.  ROB MCDOUGALL has taken the gamebox you see illustrated here, and scanned the map image from the original game to replace the graphic I use for the map.  The resulting file is rather large in comparison, but features graphics from the original game.  You can download Rob's gamebox HERE.   Note the download file is 1.07 meg zipped.  I can't get it to download, so I can't provide screenshots.
