About Us

Fruit Vendor is a card game designed to help players learn the ins and outs of localization vendor management. Pick vendors that suit the needs of different projects, but watch out for Bad Apples!

The development of this game was funded by the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey through the Samuel F. B. Morse fund. Our thanks to MIIS for this funding that made this game a reality! In the future, we’d love to expand the game with expansion packs for specific locales and domains. MIIS students interested in participating can visit the Microsoft Teams TIAG 8606 Localization Practicum group’s Fruit Vendor Channel.
