About the game

Container is a board game from Allplay, designed by Franz-Benno Delonge and Thomas Ewert and Kevin Nesbitt (2026). It plays 3–5 players in 45–90 minutes, for ages 12+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.9 out of 10 and call it medium (2.8 / 5 weight).

Every decision you make in Container shapes the market. During play, you build factories, produce containers, set prices, negotiate with your rivals, sail across the sea to trade, and (obviously) buy low, and sell high. At least that's the goal — but can you make it happen? The rules for Container are simple; the real challenge is understanding and timing the market. Players build machines, warehouses, and containers, then sail your containers to the island and auction them off. Be careful with your money — in the closed economy, money's tight and your opponents are cutthroat! At the beginning of the game, container value cards are secretly dealt to all players. Because these values aren’t shown, you’ll have to suss out what your opponents are going for throughout the game! But at final scoring, these come into play. The player with the most money wins.

  • Incredible new version of the beloved classic which will come in a great new box size at a very accessible price point.
  • Beautiful new artwork gives this version of Container a New Yorker vibe and is sure to be an eye catcher on any shelf.
  • New components and board layout make this a very appealing table presence.
  • An incredibly rich economic experience with high degrees of player interaction.
  • One of the most clever auction/economy games is finally getting the re-print it's deserved for so long.
