Container

Container

Container is a highly interactive economic strategy game in which players build businesses, manufacture goods and compete to become the wealthiest shipping magnate.

Every player controls the entire supply chain. During your turn you may expand your company by constructing factories, warehouses or docks, produce coloured containers, transport goods between locations or buy products from other players. Because every purchase benefits another player, success depends on carefully balancing your own profits against the opportunities you create for your opponents.

Containers eventually reach a shared island market where they are sold through blind auctions. Each player values the different container colours differently, creating constantly shifting incentives and forcing difficult decisions over when to buy, sell or hold stock. There are no fixed prices, so the economy is driven entirely by the players around the table.

The game ends once the final supply of containers has been exhausted. Hidden values are revealed, outstanding loans are repaid and the player who has built the most successful trading empire wins. Container is renowned for its player-driven economy, meaningful negotiation and remarkable replayability, with every session creating a unique market shaped entirely by the decisions of those at the table.
