Vote, swap places, use powers and backstab to ensure the right Seeker wins the throne. The longest and most strategical Throneless Game.
Kaizerseat
When generating your own material, check the rules to see how many Seekers (“packs”) are recommended for each player count. Each choice adds ~1 page to print.
Background
Whenever I create a game, the idea always starts on a sort of middle ground and I usually try to simplify, simplify, simplify. I chuck out rules, I discard special actions that sound really cool but take 20 extra words to explain, etcetera.
The result are very simple and streamlined games such as Smallseat and Queenseat.
I have also learned, however, that those nice ideas can be brought back if you set up the game to be a little longer and more complex from the start. It’s almost always possible to create one version that players know will take longer to play and has a few more rules to learn, but which gives the coolest actions and deepest strategy in return.
As expected, this became Kaizerseat. About half of it is the result of discarded ideas that I pushed upstream, the other half unique mechanics and actions invented just for this version. For example, it contains a Seatcard that randomizes a few rules per game, and it has multiple types of actions. Both were ideas I’d originally given to other games, but which turned out to be slightly too much for those simple versions. So they ended up here!

You can hire me! Maybe you need a special board game or video game for a birthday or educational purpose? I'm also open to inquiries about physically publishing my games. I am a registered freelance artist from the Netherlands and you can contact me professionally through my portfolio.
If unsure, visit my Online Store. It contains everything I ever made. Though it focuses on playful education and activities for children/family, first and foremost.
Another great way to support me is to simply let me know what you think! Mail me at harmonize@pandaqi.com with any feedback.
Alternatives would be to buy my paid work (a win-win situation!) or to donate through the most popular channels (see buttons below).
