Vertical and horizontal centered 4x4 square grid using css grid

I want to write 2048 game using divs and css-grid. This is how I imagine the output: enter image description here

I have the outer part, which fits to the browser window, and I just want to write 4x4 grid in the middle (horizontal and vertical) of the middle-left div (called game-container)

<div class = "game-container">
  <div class = "game">
    <div class = "game-cell"></div>
    <!-- 16 game cells total -->
    <div class = "game-cell"></div>
  </div>
</div>

I made a 4x4 grid using:

div.game {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  grid-template-rows: repeat(4, 1fr);
}

However, I have a problem with few things:

I can make each one of this, but not all at once.

Moreover, how to display game div in the middle (as in the picture) of the game-container div.

PS. I don't mind using some Bootstrap if it simplifies something.


Some info concerning outer container:

html, body, div.container{
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

div.container {
  display:grid;
  grid-template-rows: 3fr 9fr 2fr;
  grid-template-columns: 3fr 5fr;
  grid-gap: 2px;
  background-color: yellow;
}

Add this to your .game-container css

 display: flex;
 align-items: center;
 justify-content: center;

.game {
  display: grid;
  width: 120px;
  height: 120px;
  border:1px solid black;
}

.game-container{
    height: 500px;
    width: 500px;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    border: 1px solid black;
}
<div class = "game-container">

    <div class = "game">
     
    </div>

</div>

use flexbox to acheive it outside grid.

div.game {
  display: grid;
  width: 50vw;
  height: 50vh;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
  grid-template-rows: repeat(4, 1fr);
  width: 120px;
  height: 120px
}

.game-cell {
  width: 30px;
  height: 30px;
  border: 1px solid ;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.left-half{
  width: 50vw;
  height: 100vh;
  border: 1px solid red;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

body{
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}
