= Glass Bead Game playable variants = "GlassBeadGame PlayableVariant" is ["Charles Cameron"]'s term for an attempt to realise the GlassBeadGame in the real world in a playable way. One might think of a playable variant as "''a'' glass bead game" (or gbg) rather than "''the'' Glass Bead Game" (or GBG, which depending on viewpoint is either a fictional construct from TheNovel or an unattainable ideal or both). Here are some PlayableVariants accessible on the Internet: *'''[http://beadga.me/ The Bead Game]''': The reincarnation of of glassbeadgame.net (link broken) * '''DigitalBeadGame''': A recent, computer-mediated playable variant. * '''GlassPlateGame''': One of the earliest known playable variants, designed by ["Dunbar Aitkens"] -- "a conversation in the trappings of a board game". * '''HipBone''': ["Charles Cameron"]'s HipBone Games are probably the most popular gbg on the Internet. * '''["Intrachange"]''': A gbg by ["William Horden"] based on correspondences between the 64 hexagrams of the I Ching and the 64 squares of a chessboard. * '''["Kennexions"]''': designed by ["Ron Hale-Evans"], Kennexions is based on the Norse poetic form called the ["Kenning"], among other things. * '''LudusSollemnis''': A gbg by ["Terence MacNamee"] based on liturgical drama. This work is now being continued at the website "Lusor Curiensis"(http://lusorcuriensis.wordpress.com/). * [http://www.joshuafost.com/glassbeadgame/ Toward the Glass Bead Game]: Fascinating gbg by ["Joshua Fost"] that uses XML and the SemanticWeb (also an ambition of Kennexions). *'''[http://vicuslusorum.org/ Vicus Lusorum]''': A wiki-formatted gbg and collaborative story engine which uses [http://everything2.com/ Everything2] as a model and the entire Internet as sources for game beads. * '''WaldzellGbg''': The Waldzell GlassBeadGame, designed by ["Mark Line"], takes an analytical approach. * '''[http://docs.google.com/document/d/1lwEjIWAbirDmkeaboq7a0Dr9oBRgpBqwIeyUUod8quE/edit?usp=sharing Genesis-World-Game]''': a gbg involving Buckminster Fuller, Hermann Hesse, and Ludvig Wittgenstein. * '''["EdgeIn"]''' : A fairly competitive GBG based around hidden meanings.
