Container Board Game

Container is a strategic board game about production, pricing, auctions and international trade. Build factories, produce containers, set your prices, negotiate with rival players and sail across the sea to trade goods as you work to build your wealth.

Every decision you make can affect the market. With a closed economy, money is limited, meaning investments, purchases and loans all need to be considered carefully. You may invest in factories only to find that other players are not interested in buying what you produce.

At the beginning of the game, secret container value cards are dealt to the players. These hidden values mean you need to work out what your opponents are trying to acquire while deciding where your own money is best spent.

The market can bring unexpected successes and failures. Good decisions can see you making money from containers you thought would not sell, while poor judgements and misplays can leave your business struggling. With auctions at the heart of the game, every game offers a different challenge.
