Game Rules

Game length (weeks)

10–100. 24 or more shows the full boom-and-bust cycle.

Customer demand (cases per week)

Starts at

From weekbecomes

Demand is 4 cases a week, rising to 8 in week 5. Players aren't told this — the reveal is part of the debrief.

Delays (weeks)

OrderShipping

An order takes 1 week to reach the supplier and the beer 2 more to ship, so the lead time from ordering to delivery is 3 weeks. Shorter lead times damp the bullwhip; the classic game uses 1 + 2.
