Kinetic Lattice Group Models [1] provide a valuable tool for the numerical simulation of the Boltzmann equation. Here we introduce a Monte Carlo version of these. With this we have the unique opportunity to compare deterministic versions with Monte Carlo versions of the same model . We introduce the system and discuss some results.
