A 2-player cooperative logistics game where each player takes on a fixed role at a dedicated station. One player drives the truck to transport containers from the yard to the ship-side crane. The other player operates the crane, lifting containers from the truck and stacking them onto the ship’s deck. Both roles are essential, and neither can succeed without the other . Visitors who want to try the other role can simply replay the game, which increases replay value and throughput.
Session Length: 60–90 seconds (ideal for high visitor turnover)
Players: 2 (Truck Operator + Crane Operator)
Win Condition: Load a target number of containers before time runs out
Partial Win Condition: Load fewer containers than target → lower score tier
Fail Condition: Catastrophic mis-stacking (ship overload or critical error) — ends game early
A 2-player cooperative logistics game where players must work together to load cargo ships as efficiently as possible. One player drives a truck collecting containers from storage areas, while the other operates a crane loading those containers onto ships.
