Container is an economic game that tests players' strategy to build and operate a simple supply chain. Each player's goal is to make the most money by producing, selling, and shipping containers. That may sound easy enough, but there's a complication: you can never buy or ship your own containers! Instead, you need to entice other players to purchase your containers and deliver them to Container Island.
At the end of the game, each player counts up the cash they earned during the game, plus the cash value of the containers in their scoring area on Container Island. Your secret scoring card determines how much containers in your scoring area are worth. Whoever has the most total cash wins!

This game is a bit of a slog, but I can see how some people love it. We only managed one round of it (with three adults) and it took a couple of hours and multiple checking of the rule book. We even prepared by watching Youtube tutorials (top tip: avoid the completely useless one from the allplay channel), but it took a slow play through before it started to make sense. Once we got there, I can see the appeal: there's lots of strategy involved and not a lot of luck needed. Not one for me tho.
