Summary:
In the distribution game you own and control a small distribution network. It is a two level distribution situation. You control the quantity that is shipped from the manufacturer to the warehouse. Further you control the shipment quantities to your three retailers. The goal of this game is to cost effectively manage the flow of goods to supply random customer demand at multiple locations. Whoever gets the highest net profit wins. If the shops don't have enough inventory, they can't fulfill demand and you miss profits. Backlog and backorders are not possible in this game; but backorders can be easily added.
