Container, a board game with the most boring theme imaginable, is one of the most exciting experiences I've ever had (www.eurogamer.net)

You'd be forgiven for thinking that Container is less an actual playable board game and more a parody of the mundane, dryly economical themes adopted by the tabletop hobby's more esoteric offerings.

I just wish I could find it somewhere for a reasonable price - listings on BGG are ~150 € or more.

The pieces look to be just 3d prints, and the game board is just card stock. Is there an official version I'm missing?

Love it. Anyone know a good print and play solution? Only played it online so far, can't get a hold of a physical version.

Found this: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1411463/redesign-and-remake-container-lots-pictures/page/2

with the 3d parts here: https://www.printables.com/model/80565-boardgame-tokens-for-container

How good that is I don’t know. But I will probably start to print it the next weeks.

Where did you find it online?

[–] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Tabletop simulator has a nice implementation.

There are a few. Would you mind sharing a link to the one you're using?

Have this since first edition, a shame the only reprints we have are ks or deluxe editions, this game can be very cheap and doesn't need a huge box

Never heard of this but it sounds fun. It’s a shame it’s out of production. I don’t have a 3D printer so I’ll have to find a service or a friend to make this for me.
