The Beer Game is still around and has been computerized at least once (Simchi-Levi, David Simchi-Levi; Philip Kaminsky; Edith. Designing and Managing the Supply Chain W/ Student Cd-Rom (2nd Edition), McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2002). But you're thinking on a larger scale.

And I bet there are things out there. They may be proprietary and they may be called tools, not games.

Here's a picture called The Context of Interest. It represents the areas I roam in my duties for Maritime.

 

I would like a simulation that allows me to look at the smallest component in this diagram, say Transportation.  Master that then have the mastered component become part of a larger simulation, say Logistics. Master than then move on to Supply Chain and so on until the entire picture can be run as a simulation. The heart of the picture is from Michael Porter.
