Play The Beer Game
The Beer Game was originally developed at MIT in the 1950s to illustrate how difficult it is to manage dynamic systems – in this case the dynamic system is a supply chain that delivers beer from a brewery to the end consumer. Play with our implementation of the Beer Game and learn about strategies to optimize the supply chain.

Further Reading:
- Play The Beer Game introduces the story behind the creation of our single-player version of the Beer Game.
- Understanding The Beer Game provides an in-depth analysis of the beer game and of how to find the right ordering strategy.
- Simulating The Beer Game develops a stock and flow model of the Beer Game that can be used to analyze game dynamics.
- Training Artificial Intelligence to Play The Beer Game first introduces an Agent-based simulation of the Beer Game and then uses reinforcement learning to train the agents to play the game.
You can find the code for the simulation models and machine learning algorithms along with explanatory Jupyter notebooks on our GitHub repository.
