Now, one year later, we have to do without all that again.&#8221; This is a particular pity, he said, because it is the 20th anniversary of the Children&#8217;s Play of the Year award. &#8220;Children&#8217;s play has developed enormously over the last 20 years,&#8221; Schlewinski said, paying tribute in his presentation to the 29 advisory board members and nine jury members who have put more than 2000 games &#8220;on kindergarten, school and living room tables&#8221; over these 20 years. &#8220;As a result, thousands of children have been taken into new, fascinating and exciting worlds again and again over the past 20 years,&#8221; Schlewinski said. &#8220;Playing children become playing parents, who in turn play with their children as a matter of course.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17962\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17962\" style=\"width: 338px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17961\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/BrunoCathala-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"338\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/BrunoCathala-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/BrunoCathala-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/BrunoCathala-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/BrunoCathala-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.spiel-des-jahres.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/BrunoCathala-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17962\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bruno Cathala<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Schlewinski particularly emphasised the unifying power of play: &#8220;The more people sit down at a table and play together, the more we experience games as a powerful weapon against intolerance, xenophobia and anti-democratic ideas.
