Hiking Shark Indie Boardgames
Hi! My name is Jordan, and I founded the Hiking Shark Co. because I want to pursue the unordinary. As a young kid, I would fall asleep each night dreaming of daring high seas adventures, battling against fierce dragons, or pulling off the perfect spy heist. I want to capture those same emotions with the games I design and help others feel their imaginations spark back to life. I am not a large company, just a guy who wants to bring some whimsy back into family game nights. Plank is a high seas treasure hunting adventure where player build their crew and sail the vast seas, plundering opponents and claiming treasures. Plank is the first game I have designed and self-published.

Why Pirate Boardgames
I choose a pirate theme for my first boardgame because I love the idea of sailing across a vast blue ocean. I grew up on the coast surrounded by the worlds larges freshwater lakes and so water has always held a special place in my heart. In Plank you play as a dish scrubber who has risked it all chasing their dream of becoming a legendary captain. In a way this mirrors my own life. I also am risking everything to chase my own dreams. Plank is about chasing vast treasures as you build a loyal crew along the way and battle against fearsome odds. It is a platform for stunning victories and devastating losses that will kindle the imaginations of young and old.
