“…Another high-level approach, following the design science philosophy is proposed by Kurapati (2017) . In her work on the use of games for development of situational awareness, Kurapati adopts the design science framework as well as above mentioned game design concepts of simulation games, resulting in an approach shown in Figure 2 .…”

Background. The use of simulation games for complex systems analysis and design has been acknowledged about 50 years ago. However, articles do not combine all salient factors for successful simulation games, and often stem from a clear view of one particular field of science only. With combining multiple disciplines, connect analysis and design as well as research and practice, we provide deep insights in design and use of simulation games.Aim. This article analyzes the design and evaluation process of a variety of game-based projects and activities, using existing scientific concepts and approaches, in order to establish games as a valid research tool. Our focus lies on the approach towards the use of games as design instrument; using them as an intervention in a larger, complex context, in order to design this context. With our contribution, we aim at providing insights and recommendations on the design and use of games as valid research tools, the limitations of this use, possible pitfalls, but also best practices.Method. We carried out a literature review of related work to identify the most important scientific concepts related to our approach of game design. Further use of combined quantitative and qualitative case study analyses highlights the design process and results of our own game studies.Results. The analyses yielded a consolidated conceptualization of simulation games as research instruments in complex systems analysis and design. The results also include methods for the evaluation of simulation games, additional evaluation methods, and limitations to use simulation games as research instruments.Conclusions. We propose guidelines for using simulation games as research instruments that may be of value to practitioners and scientists alike.Recommendation. We recommend practitioners and scientists to apply the guidelines presented here in their efforts to analyze and design complex systems.

“…This approach is particularly suited to transport applications in which stakeholders with different perspectives and different information management regimes and solutions are present. Simulation games have been used for transport applications in works of several authors ( 11, 17–19 ). The works of these authors illustrate cases of how to design and apply simulation gaming for transportation issues.…”

“…While Meijer ( 11 ) proposes a solution on a strategic level, Kurapati et al ( 17 ) suggests the use of short games on operational level in transportation. Kurapati et al ( 18 ) discusses the use of games for the governance of the transport system as a whole, and awareness for synchromodal transport solutions in particular. The cases show that simulation gaming can address challenges and issues of transportation on all three levels; strategical, tactical, and operational.…”

“…Finally, we are in the process of developing the Shipper’s Game that investigates the shippers’ preferences on the design of the synchromodal transport product. Some of the games have already been presented ( 17 , 18 , 21 , 22 ) but in this paper we focus on describing the approach of developing games that address the decisions made by the stakeholders in every layer of the logistic chain. The rest of this section provides a more detailed description of the games.…”

In this paper we discuss the application of simulation gaming to study the behavior and decision making of stakeholders when confronted with complex transportation problems. The problem we tackle is synchromodal transportation. Synchromodality requires the vertical and horizontal collaboration of stakeholders in all the levels of decision making. To facilitate this, we develop four games designed in a way that meets the needs of decision makers in each level. We present both board and digital games and the results from the first gaming sessions with Dutch supply chain and logistics professionals.
