Container

Overview

The legend is back! Build your factories, produce containers, set your prices, negotiate with rivals, and sail the seas to trade. The rule is simple: buy low and sell high — but can you actually pull it off? Container is a deep economic strategy game that has been highly sought after for years, long out of print and selling for hundreds of dollars on the secondary market. Now it returns with a sleek new edition featuring modern production, premium components, and stunning artwork worthy of a game of this caliber — at a lower price than ever before.
