The TLC is a simple constrained integer program turned into a game that you can play in a classroom with Legos. In each round of the game, your team acts as a boutique woodworking company who must decide which items to build and sell to the market. The goal is to decide how many of each type of item to build to maximize profits and beat other teams, where you are constrained by how many component pieces you have available.
