I see that this article discusses a "deck of cards", as well as various records that must be managed, and a "Stack of pennies" representing something. So there's some game that really exists out there.

I was on a team that wrote a beer game app for HBS, and the rules are really simple. It's not really worth playing more than once, though.
This is a co-op game made for business school classes, and you won't be able to get the full experience of it unless you enforce the "no talking" rule between each player, and have some other people to compare against.
There's probably some good way to make a bullwhip effect game, maybe with each player playing all stages, but each stage in a different supply chain (and maybe with the retail availability of the product of one supply chain generating the demand on another.)
For games in the same ballpark, Schoko & Co., Container, and Energie Poker are good ones.
