Alexander Randolph (4 May 1922 – 28 April 2004) was an American designer of board games and writer. Randolph's game creations include TwixT, Breakthru, Inkognito (with Leo Colovini),[1] Raj, Ricochet Robot, and Enchanted Forest (with Michael Matschoss).[2]

Randolph was a son of self-described "rich parents" who attended private school in Switzerland.[3]

He spent his early years in various occupations, including military intelligence and as an advertising copy editor in Boston.{{citation needed|date=December 2014}}

Game developer

In 1961, Randolph moved to Japan and became a professional game developer, performing initial work on TwixT. During this time, he became a dan player in shogi.

In 1962, Randolph (along with Sid Sackson) was commissioned to start a new game division for Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing (also known as 3M). Through 3M, Randolph created and published such games as Breakthru, Evade, Oh-Wah-Ree, and TwixT.[4]

Randolph moved to Venice, Italy in 1968, continuing his career as a game developer with the company Venice Connection established with Dario De Toffoli and Leo Colovini.[5]

Randolph died aged 82 in Venice on 28 April 2004.[4]

In 2016, as a testimony to his career, Fabulous Games published ADDX - the first ever digital game from Alex Randolph.[6]
