Hotseat (multiplayer mode)

Hotseat is a multiplayer gaming mode typically used in turn-based games where multiple players share the same physical device, such as a computer or console. In this mode, players take turns playing the game, allowing each participant to make their moves or decisions sequentially without needing separate accounts or devices. The term "hotseat" originated from tabletop role-playing games and board games, where players would sit around a table and take their turns in a rotating fashion.
