“MLM Game” (small box) – business simulator

About the game

“MLM Game” is a card business simulator about direct sales and building a network structure. Participants see how the game model links personal sales, inviting new people, training, seminars, qualifications, promotion, and resource allocation.

The Small Box is a separate compact version: 100 game cards, 9 rule cards, and two dice. Through the decisions of the participants, it clearly shows how income is generated, the network structure grows, and sales, training, promotion, and qualifications work.

How is the game going?

At the beginning, participants are given starting opportunities and brief rules. Cards reveal clients, new partners, training events, qualifications, expenses, and other elements of the structure. Dice add variability, but the decision on where to direct the limited resource remains with the player.

For a structure to grow, it is not enough to just recruit new people. You need to support activities at different levels, choose when to invest in training or events, and monitor how one event affects the next. Participants can compete for opportunities while at the same time collaborating, making agreements, and helping with common projects.

After several rounds, the leader can suggest comparing structures: where the bottleneck occurred, which actions did not produce the expected result, and what changed after the collaboration. The game allows you to see the strategies of the participants, test salespeople and work group leaders, and use observations in the assessment of managers.

The leader should explain the terms of the decks in advance, especially if there are people in the group who have no experience in network marketing. A brief introduction to the levels and qualifications helps all participants make decisions on equal terms and focus on the mechanics of structure, sales, and teamwork.

Why does the game teach and what does it show?

“MLM Game” clearly shows how income is generated in network business, due to which the structure grows and how training, seminars, promotion and qualifications affect the result.
