About the game
Welcome to Man Card
A game where you compete against your friends to see who can keep their Man Card the longest. What does having a “Man Card” mean? We sincerely don’t know or care. You decide.
Who is this game for? This game can be played and won by ANYBODY. We’ve tried to build a well rounded game that just happens to contain some elements of stereotypical male behavior, action, and knowledge. If the name of this game offends you, please go buy this instead. Our feelings won’t be hurt. We’ve had people from 9 to 70 play and enjoy it.
How many people can play this game? It’s designed for 3-10 players of any age.
How long does it take to play the game? It’s about a 30 minute game for 4 people. The rules are flexible enough to play a shorter or longer game as desired by adjusting the number of Man Cards each player starts with.
How do you win the game? The game ends when there is only one player left with any of their Man Cards.

Our story
Man Card was created in a sports bar. I was having drinks with my wife after shopping in our neighborhood. She had just bought a set of cards with pictures of bird feathers on them. Not playing cards mind you, just cardboard with feathers. This purchase made little sense to me, but to each their own… I asked myself what deck of cards I would want to buy. Thus was born, Man Card! I love competition and I love games. So I started thinking of the various categories to build a game around.
I wanted to create a game that would create conversation among friends. Each category is designed to do just that in unique and fun ways. Everyone is going to like certain categories more than others. I hope you enjoy them. I hope you tweak the rules to suit whatever your group wants to enjoy. I hope that some people realize the Man Cards are just fancy versions of poker chips and act accordingly. Win or lose, I hope you have fun talking about the prompts this game provides.
Oh – and if you are wondering what the heck “ticcio” is and how to pronounce it…. It stands for “This is cool, check it out.” and it’s rhymes with “glitchy bro”
