I first experienced the Beer Game in school, played physically. Loads of fun, with people getting all angry at each other, throwing blame around, "why the heck did you order so much??" etc. It was crazy to see how quickly the whole supply chain fell apart
It taught me a ton, and I wanted to take a stab at making a free online version of it
This is meant to mirror the classic MIT game as closely as possible, but able to be played remotely and by anyone who has the link
Anyone can play a full round right now, with no signup required. If you're teaching a class or running a workshop, a free En Dash account lets you host sessions (and you get the full debrief/readout persisted to your account)
Built by me, with some help from other folks at En Dash Consulting.
Play a round and let us know what score you managed :D
Would love to hear any thoughts!
