The game tries to simulate an good entry queue and how to visualize if the supply of goods is bigger than the room in a warehouse. Have each group of players throw dice and record the waiting line
 
−
* One dice represents the # goods in a new truckload
 
−
* The other dice represents the # open places in the warehouse
 
−
Play three rounds:
 
−
* In the first round calculate the average length of the waiting line with 0 extra spots
 
−
* In the second round calculate the average length of the waiting line with 1 extra spot
 
−
* In the third round calculate the average length of the waiting line with 2 extra spots
 
−
* In the last round calculate the average length of the waiting line with 3 extra spots
 
−
Throw 20 rounds. The punch line of this exercise is that the queue will explode if you model the capacity equal to the demand.
