Container

The main goal is to accumulate the most wealth by producing, pricing, and trading shipping containers. Players must carefully manage production costs, harbor storage, and auction bids to outpace their opponents and achieve secret victory goals.

Each player receives a player board equipped with a starting factory, a warehouse, initial containers, money, and a ship. The central island board is placed within reach of all players, representing the international auction area where containers are eventually bid upon.

Players take turns executing two actions. Actions include purchasing factories or warehouses, producing containers in factories, buying merchandise from other players' harbor stores, and moving ships to harbors or the international island.

Scoring relies heavily on secret objective cards assigned at the start of the game. Players reveal these cards at the end to evaluate their container holdings, earning points based on specific container types and values.

The game concludes when two stacks of container goods are entirely exhausted. Players finish their current turns before proceeding to the final financial and victory point tallies.

Avoid over-investing in infrastructure too early, as money cycles between players and the bank constantly. Pay close attention to opponents' actions to deduce their secret objectives and corner the most lucrative container markets.
