A common problem in games with more than two problems: You have a player who cannot win, but who can choose which of the other players will win. If he can't be a King, he can at least be the man who makes the King.

Examples include:

  • Monopoly players offering their property for a song in a trade.
  • Strategic games players going kamakazi on one player to aid another.
  • Diplomacy, just Diplomacy.
