Container Clashes Percentage Change Board Game
Game Play:
Players compete against one another to amass the most wealth over a predetermined number of laps around the board.
Each player is assigned a trailer at random containing cash and merchandise in varying proportions. All trailers have the same initial asset value.
As the players travel around the board they are forced to sell one item from their container each time they land on ‘Sell’. Each ‘Sell’ has a designated profit or loss that must be calculated in order to determine the sale price of the sold item.
Each time a player lands on ‘Container’ all players can bid for a trailer item up to the value of the cash that they have available.
keep the container items face down so that the players don’t know
what they are bidding for!
There are some good, and
some bad so don’t get carried away
and bid too much!
There are 3 choices of game board:
RED 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50% Profit or Loss
AMBER 3, 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 40, 45, 60, 75, 80 and 90% Profit or Loss
GREEN 2.5, 5, 7, 8, 9, 17, 28, 35, 64 and 97% Profit or Loss
The winner has the highest total asset value at the end.
