Alex Randolph was the son of artists: his father a painter, his mother a sculptor, inevitably an artist himself: writer, poet, certainly a thinker and perhaps even a philosopher, citizen of the world, author of games, or rather the author of authors of games.
\nHis short essay\u00a0Homo Ordinator<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, presented in Florence in April 1999 during the Board Game in Accademia III<\/em> conference, collects his thoughts Playing and Games.<\/p>\n

I read it years ago and I confess that, at a first reading, I was not particularly impressed. It seemed to me a simple piece of writing, a potpourri of well-known things.
\nHowever, having had the opportunity to know and associate with Alex, I read it again later, after his death, and only then did I notice some connections, a common thread and therefore the opportunity to underline some fundamental passages.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\n

Some time later, a third reading was fundamental for me: I finally caught the profound reflections of an entire life and surprisingly summarized in a simple but witty way.
\nFinally, I did not give up a fourth reading in an attempt to grasp still more, a deeper immersion, but at that point more than finding anything else, I came to hear his calm voice, slightly ironic and light-hearted: and his writing became a story, a fable from which to emerge satisfied.<\/p>\n

I consider myself very lucky for this meeting, for this friendship with Alex even though I met him only when he had entered his last years of life. Try to read it too: perhaps accompany the reading with the vision of old films<\/a> of some of Alex’s speakings at some conference, or with the\u00a0episode of the Wikiradio podcast<\/a>\u00a0(Rai Radio 3) that Andrea Angiolino dedicated to him at the time.<\/p>\n

As for me, now I am more than certain that sooner or later, healthy and always stimulating new readings await me.<\/p>\n
