Container (board game)

Container is an economic simulation board game for three to five players, released in 2007, and re-released in a special edition in 2017.

The players produce, buy, sell, ship and store containers with the general goal of maximizing overall profits.

Economic considerations such as supply and demand, cash management, return on investment and efficient use of resources are natural consequences of the game's buying and selling rules.

Players can initially only keep one container in their dockside store, and must spend actions (and money) to buy more warehouses to increase their capacity.

Each player is dealt, at the start of the game, a card telling him the values (to him) of each of the different types of containers, from 2 to 10.
