abstract	Glass Bead Game → German, Italian. The Glass Bead Game was invented in 1979 by the Dutch game inventor Christian Freeling The game was first described in 1986 in the American GAMES Magazine. The name of this mancala game was taken from Hermann Hesse's world-famous novel Das Glasperlenspiel, which was published in 1943. In the same year, Hesse was put on the Black List of the Nazis. Three years later, the "Tausendjähriges Reich" of the Nazis was reduced to ashes and Hesse received the Nobel Prize in Literature. The Glass Bead Game is closely related to Oware. Both games have in common: * two-rank board * two fields * single-lap movement * counterclockwise movement * the emptied hole is not filled again in a move * a hole with two pieces is "ripe" * you can capture from a chain of holes as long as they are all "ripe" and on the opponent's side of the board * in certain situations you must feed the opponent The Glass Bead Game differs, however, in the following: * it is played on a 2x5=10 board * there are six different kinds of pieces * you can capture from your opponent's store * the exact timing of ending a game can be extremely difficult * draws are not possible In 2001, Clark D. Rodeffer organized a Glass Bead Game tournament at the U-Con Gaming Convention in Ann Arbor (Michigan, USA). The game can be played online in the ArenA of MindSports, a web site by Ed van Zon and Christian Freeling.
