Working with Thoka Brettspiele

Thoka Brettspiele is the German-language board game channel by Ann-Kathrin and Thomas. We feature board games in a variety of formats and combine real playing experience with direct interaction with our community.

From reviews and Let’s Plays to livestreams, rules videos and convention coverage, we choose the format that best fits the game and the occasion.
