| A talk with Alex Randolph | |
| ... on cooperative games | |
For me a game is a ritual fight (with rules, forms and rites) which takes place on a limited almost sacred place, like a chess board, but nevertheless a fight. You play to win! I am therefore not keen on cooperative games. A cooperative game is a well-behaved occupation for well-behaved children. But first of all is well-behaved occupation always boring. And secondly I don't know any well-behaving children. (Despite this statement did Alex Randolph have a major success the same year with a beautiful cooperative children's games: Selecta's Gute Freunde, which won the Spiel des Jahres as best Children's game.
