MANCAVE BY XENCEI · SEASON ONE
How to gather
Gather 4–10 men and allow about 90 minutes per session. The eight stages move from a welcome and warm-up to scenarios, conversation and one practical action.
The supplied cover illustrates Session 12, “The Men We Intend to Become.” The playable game includes all twelve sessions.
- Set the group size. Choose 4–10 men. This sets the anonymous Load It and Do Something selection totals.
- Choose your gathering. Start / Continue Season begins the sequence. Choose a Session opens all twelve gatherings; none is locked.
- Start together. Read the table code, then start the session. Its stage timer and active session timer begin automatically. Use Pause or Start / Resume whenever needed.
- Follow the eight stages. Arrival & Table Code, Warm-up, Framing Thought, Load It, Call It, Open Up, Do Something and The Close. Use Next or Previous to move at your group’s pace.
- Count choices, not disclosures. In Load It, each man chooses two cards; in Do Something, each chooses one. Repeated picks count. Record selections with the controls and reveal the room’s totals when ready.
- Talk with choice. Call It offers scenarios. Open Up invites a personal answer, a general answer or a pass. Nobody owes the group a confession.
- Finish and choose what follows. Finish Session opens a bridge to the next gathering. Continue in sequence, choose another session, replay or exit.
- Exit when you need to. Exit and Season Menu controls are available throughout. Progress and completion marks last only while the page remains open; closing or refreshing clears them.
YOUR NEXT PROMPT AWAITS
Let’s begin.
Your answers are spoken or reflected on privately. This game does not ask you to type or submit them. Session timers, anonymous counts and completion marks reset when the game is reloaded.
THE TABLE CODE
Listen. Don’t push.
Nobody has to disclose anything. No fixing, mocking, recording or retelling. If a question feels too heavy, skip it and check in with the person. Respect a pause just as much as an answer.
