About the game

Container is an economic simulation board game for three to five players. First released in 2007, it was re-released in a special edition in 2017, and as a more compact version by Allplay in 2026. The game is themed around the shipping industry, and the primary pieces in the game are shipping containers. The game was designed by Franz-Benno Delonge, Thomas Ewert and Kevin Nesbitt with art by Mike Doyle, published by Valley Games, Inc. 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.
