**Historical article** · Originally published July 25, 2005; technical details may be outdated.

Some links to various "XP Games" - small games to simulate Agile Development practices and benefits (via the XP Mailing list at Yahoo)

- [The XP Game](http://www.xp.be/xpgame.html)
- [XP War](http://www.industriallogic.com/games/xpwar.html\))
- [Some nice games fro developers](http://xp123.com/g4p/index.shtml) from Bill Wake
- [Offing the Off-Site customer workshop](http://www.jamesshore.com/Presentations/OffingTheOffsiteCustomer.html) materials
- [Extreme Hour](http://xp.c2.com/ExtremeHour.html)

I'm planning to have one of these games at the upcoming Agile Israel Meetings. Any recommendations?
