Shelter Seats: who gets a seat?
There's a disaster outside, and the shelter has half as many seats as there are people at the table. Players reveal cards about themselves, argue, and vote on who stays outside.
- Six cards per player: job, age, health, hobby, luggage and one fact
- Voice and cameras inside the game, plus a chat for those who'd rather type
- The final outcome is worked out by rules, so you can argue about it after
- 4–12 per table
- 6 disasters
- browser, no installs

ONE ROUND
Cards, cases, the vote
01 · Your hand
Six cards about you
Job, age, health, hobby, luggage and one fact, plus a special condition. Only you can see them.
02 · Your turn
Make your case
Explain why the shelter needs you and turn one card over. In round one, everyone reveals their job.
03 · The vote
Someone stays outside
Ninety seconds of open debate, then a secret vote. The most votes stays outside, and the next round opens a new room.
The game ends when the people left match the seats. Then it works out whether the shelter survives.
CARDS
Six cards instead of a bio
Each kind has its own color, so you can see at a glance what a player has shown and what they're holding back.
- JOB
Surgeon, 12 years
- AGE
Woman, 28, pregnant
- HEALTH
Asthma, needs an inhaler
- HOBBY
Herbalism
- LUGGAGE
A hundred cans of stew
- FACT
Claustrophobic
No card wins on its own: medicine can come from a surgeon, a first-aid kit or an herbalist. More than a hundred person cards in the deck, and a hidden card can't be peeked at.
THE WORLD
Six disasters, twelve rooms
The disaster is known from minute one and decides what you can't survive without. The shelter shows a new room every round: a well that solves food, or an expired med bay that needs a medic.
Pandemic
Nuclear winter
The flood
Collapse and looters
New ice age
Invasion
One special condition each
Played during the debate. The organizer can switch them off.
Reveal
A player you pick turns over one card right now.
Swap
Trade a hidden luggage card with another player.
Redraw
Replace one of your hidden cards with a new one.
Double vote
Your vote counts twice in the next round.
Immunity
Nobody can vote you out in the next round.
Cancel
The next vote doesn't happen.
THE FINALE
An ending you can argue about
The game checks what the disaster and the open rooms required against what the people inside cover, and shows every line: what was needed, who covered it and with which card.
The shelter held
Not everyone made it
It didn't last the first winter
Too many people who need carrying drops the ending a step. No dice involved, so you can explain it, and argue about it over coffee.
TIME
How long a game runs
With default timers. Rounds, speeches, debate and vote are all adjustable.
| At the table | Seats | Rounds | Game |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 people | 3 | 3 | 20–24 min |
| 8 people | 4 | 4 | 31–37 min |
| 10 people | 5 | 5 | 44–51 min |
The upper end assumes a tie and a second vote in every round.
