We started this discussion in another thread but I think it best to start anew.

When we think of hot seat we think of sitting in the same room playing on the same computer. Nowadays that isn't needed
with the programs out there.

I will introduce you to a very viable solution to be able to play against another human opponent in Tigers on the Hunt.

This gives us alot of the actually things needed and is quick and easy to do.

Watch the first ever video of Hot-Seat Play of Tigers on the Hunt.

Hot seat for the 21st century.

So can the user who is not hosting use shortcuts etc? or is it just mouse controlled?

How do you erase whiteboard stuff?

I imagine a pretty seamless experience with a bit of practice and known opponents.

Hi idjester,
I was actually thinking more in terms of network performance, i.e. lag...but I guess you addressed that. So, I take it that your opponent didn't have any complaints in this regard? That would solve the one reservation that I still had about using this type of software to play with a remote opponent.

Ok I will acknowledge the originality and cleverness of the application of Team Viewer.

I use Team Viewer when my computer is fouled up or when my friend wants to show me something. Because there's nothing a tech guru likes more eh, than to have to explain a solution to a dim wit :) So yeah, he tells me to turn on Team Viewer and I just accept it's better than getting yelled at when I have no idea what he's trying to tell me.

That all said, when I say Hot Seat, I really DO mean you are here and I am here and the program is designed to handle your turn and then my turn. Perhaps the turn sequence makes this a bit messy even for hotseat.

But the question needs to be asked, does TotH have hotseat as it was used as a term 10 years ago?

The responses on my thread have me now wondering if I have somehow made a mistake in conclusion.

I don't have the game yet.

We had NO problem at all with lag. The game is not graphic intense so the refresh rate is going to be just fine. You couldn't use this for a FPS game but with a board and counter game it works perfectly.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Out of curiosity, what was the approximate distance between you and and your opponent?

Yes, MrsWargamer I would say TOTH does indeed have hotseat play. Setup the game as human vs human if you are sitting on the same computer.

But as mentioned this format will work if your sitting on the same computer or if your playing partner is thousands of miles away. It would be exactly the same, you just need a mic and internet connection and its remote hotseat.
