About Hennessey Games
I'm the creator of the card game "Dead Men Tell No Tales". My family and I have been working on this for over four years and invested many hours of blood, sweat, and tears along with spending more money than we could afford on it. More than once, I almost gave up on pursuing this endeavor. We were taken advantage of, using an invention company that promised that we would have our game in full production within three years, never seeing a single deck of cards produced and held in our hands. I decided to go on my own, with the knowledge that I gained from this learning experience.
​
The story behind where the idea came from all stemmed from staying indoors at home during 2020 when COVID-19 struck the nation. We love to have gatherings and staying trapped in our home alone became unbearable. To pass the time together as a family, we would play games, cards, board games, etc. We ordered so many different games that we started to make our own. This is one of those games!
Now, I play this game overseas while deployed for my job. Co-workers and other people I meet have played Dead Men Tell No Tales and have LOVED IT! They all ask "Where can I get this game?"
My name is Shawn Hennessey. I am an aircraft mechanic, working overseas and traveling the world. My wife, Michelle is a teacher and my daughter, Heather is a student working on her Master's Degree in graphic design. Together, as we undertake this new adventure in getting our card game "Dead Men Tell No Tales" on a Kickstarter campaign, I hope you will check it out and join us in making my dream a reality.
Shawn is an entrepreneur with the creation of Dead Men Tell No Tales. It is his first of many games to come. His passions are bike riding, both mountain bikes and road bikes, cars, and playing indoor and outdoor games.
