PARLARE DEL GIOCATTOLO E’ PARLARE DI UNA CULTURA SEGRETA,SOVVERSIVA,FORTE,CHE HA PROTETTO L’ANIMO UMANO DA SEMPRE DAL DIVENTARE UN BURATTINO CHE SODDISFA IN MANIERA ACRITICA IL SUO BISOGNO DI POTERE. PARLARE TROPPO DI QUESTA CULTURA E’ PERICOLOSO E SI RISCHIA DI ESPORLA AL RECUPERO GRAZIE AL QUALE LA SETE DI POTERE SODDISFA LA SUA ARSURA,TRASFORMANDO IN CARBURANTE LA LIQUIDA ALLEGRIA DEL GIOCO E DEL PIACERE. PER CAPIRE COME FUNZIONA QUESTO MECCANISMO DI RECUPERO BASTA PENSARE ALLA CARATTERISTICA PRINCIPALE DEL GIOCATTOLO UMANO; NON HA BISOGNO DI ENERGIA COMPRATA LA’ DOVE IL GIOCATTOLO INDUSTRIALE RECUPERATO FINALIZZATO CON SCOPO DI LUCRO HA BISOGNO DI ESSERE FINANZIATO.
DANIEL JOFFE

Ci mancherai tantissimo.

Ecologists against speculators:

The game consists of a chessboard where you take turns placing pieces.

On one side of the piece we can see a skyscraper, on the other some trees.

One player plays as the speculator and the other as the ecologist. In turn, you simply place the pieces on the chessboard.
The speculator will place them with the skyscraper visible and ecologist with the tree in sight, until no more place is left on the board. The first one who is unable to place a piece lost by “lack of space”.

Solitaire:

Placing the 12 pieces on the board, will always leave 4 empty squares.
Place the 12 pieces on the board, and leave the empty squares as shown in the patterns drawn at the margins
of the board.

dimension of the board; 25,5 x 25,5 cm.

Ecologisti contro speculatori:

Il gioco si compone di una scacchiera dove a turno si piazzano i 12 pezzi sui quali e’ disegnato ,rispettivamente su una faccia un grattacielo e sul suo dietro alberi.

Uno dei due giocatori fa lo speculatore edile e l’altro l’ecologista . A turno si piazzano i pezzi sulla scacchiera,
Lo speculatore li porra’ con la facciata grattacielo visibile e l’ecologista con l’albero in vista fino a che non restera’ piu’
spazio sulla scacchiera. Il primo che si trova nell’impossibilita’ di piazzare un pezzo per mancanza di spazio perde.
