Game rules for the Game Phase III
From Virbus
To run the simulation game, simplifications have to be made. Therefore we assume:
1) Market
- there are four destinations in the world. - You can join one of the four destinations.
2) Game rounds
- there is an unlimited number of game rounds - one game round is triggered every 5 minutes - game round run 24/7
3) Dummy hotels
- in each destination there is one dummy hotel. - all dummy hotels have same initial values. - all dummy hotel variables and destination variables are reset every round in which there is no active player. - dummy hotels will never go bankrupt.
4) Working capital
- at the beginning of the game you have 15.000 € to start the game.
5) Destination related decision
- together with your competitors you can invest in the development of various
attractions of your destination.
- you also have the chance to invest in common marketing costs.
7) destination communication chat-channels
- in each destination there is one communication chat-channel which only players that belong to the destination can read and write to.
8) Bankruptcy
- your company is bankrupt and therefore erased form the game when the EBIT is negative.
10) number of guests available
- the total number of "world guests" divided between the four destinations is defined as 30-70% of all active hotels' capacity.
