Container: 10th Anniversary Jumbo Edition (2018) is the deluxe reprint of a classic economic game about shipping, factories and a market that you build yourselves. You build factories and warehouses, or focus on shipping goods to your own island, and the prices are set by the players, so the economy can swing against you if you are not watching your cash. The jumbo box brings huge ships and realistic containers to load and unload, plus a new add-on, the Investment Bank, which acts as a game-controlled broker chasing its own profits. Three to five players, about an hour and a half, and a good pick for groups who like auctions, loans and a market that behaves like a real, moody economy.

Who it's for

You enjoy economic games with bidding and negotiation, where the market is made by the players and cash discipline matters.

Not for you if…

You want a quiet solitary optimizing game, or you dislike auctions. This is a social economy full of bluffing.

Vibe's take

Cunning and chatty. Everyone watches everyone else's cash, and the market turns in the blink of an eye when a rival changes plans.
