Researching spin glasses is not only work but also fun. That's why we have developed the tactical two-person game "Spin glass or my party!". Understand spinning glasses or other complex optimisation problems, such as organising a party, better by playing this game! The main objective is to choose the preferred "orientation" of the spins/party guests and their interactions so that as many spins/party guests as possible show the orientation you have chosen. Various additional cards that increase the number of your strategic options also help with this. Attention: three small but relevant printing errors have crept into the "Spinglas" version of the instructions. You can download the correction here (but it is also included with every game). In April 2014, an interview with the author about the game appeared in "Physik Journal".
The game can be ordered for 14.50 euros (plus shipping costs) by sending an email to at the P&S Shop of the University of Oldenburg.
