As the Game progresses, associations between the themes become deeper and more varied. Although the Glass Bead Game is described lucidly, the rules and mechanics are not explained in detail.

Famous quotes containing the word game:

    He may travel who can subsist on the wild fruits and game of the most cultivated country.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The most disgusting cad in the world is the man who, on grounds of decorum and morality, avoids the game of love. He is one who puts his own ease and security above the most laudable of philanthropies.
