High Tide with Kai Episode 1: A Brief History of Inked Gaming and Kraken Cards
Episode 1:
Join host Mitch as he lays the groundwork of High Tide with Kai as he tells the origin story of Inked Gaming. Started as Inked Playmats, Inked Gaming has evolved with the times and is expanding into more and more hobby industries. Take it waaaaaay back to 2011 to when Thomas Pool, the owner and CEO of Inked Gaming started it all with the help of his family.
Now, in 2020, Inked Gaming is opening a storefront here in downtown Corvallis, Oregon called Kraken Cards. Filmed and recorded in the Kraken Cards storefront, High Tide with Kai bridges the gap between Inked Gaming, the storefront, our employees, and the adventures surrounding all of it.
There is something here for everyone at High Tide with Kai. We hope that you join in the fun!
