This isn’t a drinking game,
so why is it called the Beer Game?
The name is derived from a classic role-playing game developed at MIT in the 1960s.
Professors at the time found that they could grab university students’ attention more effectively by calling it The Beer Distribution Game.
Our beer games can be white-labelled, so whether you trade in aircraft parts or smartphones, you can customize The Beergame App to your specific widget, industry and audience.
