A simulation in which the participants seek to achieve some agreed upon objective within an established set of rules. For example, a management game, a war game. Note: The objective may not be to compete, but to evaluate the participants, increase their knowledge concerning the simulated scenario, or achieve other goals. Syn: gaming simulation)

It allows experimental, competitive learning (action learning). Simulation games consist of two components, a description and a simulation model. The description is an introduction to the game, i.e., to the situation, basic rules, teams structure, and various options ... The second component is the simulation model)
