In Mini Containers all players simultaneously have the cleaning jitters and a clean-up rage. The goal of the game is to get rid of all the cards in your hand (trash). The main difficulty is that you will need to separate your waste and the different waste containers will not have enough room for all the players.

Mini Containers is a push your luck game with a small deck building element. Each round all players decide which cards from their hand they put in their mini-deck. You can choose to play it safe and form an exceedingly small deck with cards of which you are sure you can all fit in the available containers. Or you can bring a lot of trash to the containers and take the risk that you will not be able to play all your cards. In turn order each player decides whether to pass or reveal the top card from his mini deck. If there is space in a container of the same type – the card can be played. But whenever you reveal the top card from your mini-deck and there is no place for it – you need to take all remaining cards in all player’s mini-decks. Whenever this happens or all players have finished taking turns, a new round starts. This continues until a player manages to lose all his cards, and immediately wins the game.

Mini Containers is family friendly and quite easy to learn. But the game is incredibly challenging as well. This makes it a perfect game to play with both casual and experienced gamers. The possibility to add different modules ensures a high replayability value. It plays best with 3-6 players but also contains a solid ruleset for a 2-player game and a solo variant.
