Beer Factory is an online strategy-based game designed to test the skills of the participants in the art of resource management. There are two different game modes available for the participants: Single Player mode and Duel mode. Players are expected to oversee the production and management processes of beer and wine in their factory and their goal is to maximise profit by boosting popularity and overcoming various hurdles across different seasons. In Single Player mode, participants compete against a computer-simulated opponent.

Event Details:

• Start Date: 14th March 2022
• Mode - Online

• Each participant starts the game with a predetermined amount of cash and beers.
• The participant earns a profit for each beer sold during the turn.
• Each unsold beer contributes to a negative inventory cost.
• A new product is unlocked after a certain number of turns. This is calculated by an algorithm, and the product has separate popularity and quality.
• In the Duel mode, both the players in a match will get the same resources and number of turns. The player with the highest score at the end, wins the duel.
• The game is divided into 6 seasons. Each player gets to face different challenges in each season. The player is also provided with mid-season incentives provided he satisfies the targets given at the start of each season.
• In the Duel mode, both the players in a match will get the same resources and number of turns. The player with the highest score, in the end, wins the duel.

It is a turn-based game. The various activities involved during a turn are:

• Recording of simulated retailers’ demands.
• Decision-making regarding supply to retailers based on various factors like popularity and current demand.
• Order placement for the next round.
• Factory enhancement decisions like increasing the capacity, improving the transportation system, and so on.

There will be an opponent factory playing with the same set of retailers. Your actions will affect the popularity of your opponent and vice versa. There will be a total of around 240 turns. New retailers will be unlocked over time as the game progresses. The winner is decided based on the final score, which is an aggregate of popularity among retailers and the factory's profits.

Judging Criteria:
The winner is decided solely based on his/her factory’s “popularity rating” and the “profit rating”. Further information on how this is calculated shall be provided later. Duels will have a leaderboard separate from the Single Player mode. The decision of the event organisers is final. Requests to make changes in the results shall not be entertained. Any malpractices will lead to disqualification from the leaderboard.

FAQs:
1) Should I stay online throughout the entire duration?
Yes, you are expected to stay online but you can pause the game and continue whenever you want to.
2) What happens if there are unexpected situations like power failure?
