Container

Today we were able to bring five busy retired, semi retired and probably wannabe retired players together to play the boardgame Container.


The above image is from Boardgame Geek and shows all the component of the first edition game, which was the version we played.

It was the first time any of us had played this game, although we are all well seasoned boardgamers and had each read the rules through at least once and even watched videos (which seemed to be of variable value).

Player    Value of Containers    Stock in Hand    Cash in Hand    Total
Simon                    68                            6                        115            189
Russell                   78                            0                         19               97
Jeff                         52                            6                         28               86
Richard                  80                            7                           4                91
Mark                      10                            4                        128             142

A very interesting and fun game.

    1. It was an expensive game and is now out of print.

      It would be a fun project to scratch-build.

      I'm certainly looking forward to playing it again.
