**How to play the glass bead game**

- quote:
- "The Glass Bead Game is the gamification of the truth process.
- The truth process is the synergy of all perspectives.
- The GBG offers a serious play structure for truth seekers to sincerely explore topics together.
- Players choose a topic – a bead – and take time-limited turns – 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds – to improvise an unfiltered flow of cocreation.
- A great turn expresses the most truth in the smallest space, and intertwines closely with the previous turn. But a great player knows when to redirect the flow, when to reflect back, when to ask questions, and when to increase or decrease the level of abstraction.
- The aim of the game is to develop conceptual clarity, deep listening, game awareness, post-ego interactivity, and rhetorical skill to best participate in the collective intelligence of humanity."
