The Game of Empires

What is Empires?
+
+
+ Empires is a simple yet surprisingly entertaining party game
+ that will test your memory. Each player in the game secretly
+ chooses a "character" that they will play as. Once all players
+ have chosen their characters, each character name will be
+ revealed to all players who will have to try to memorize every
+ character. Gameplay consists of guessing the character name
+ that other plays chose. Successful guesses bring the guessed
+ player (and their entire "empire") into your own "empire". The
+ game will end with everyone in a single empire under the one
+ player whose character was never correctly guessed.

What do we need to play?
+
+
+ This website will assist you in hosting a game of empires by
+ doing the following:
+
+
+ -
+ Allowing players to secretly select a character name
+
+ -
+ Revealing the character names to all players
+
+ -
+ Keeping track of which players have still not had their
+ characters identified, (the empires remaining to be
+ captured)
+
+
+
+
+
+ Meanwhile, you are responsible for providing the following:
+
+
+ -
+ An internet-capable device for each player. This is only
+ needed for the player to select their player, so a number
+ of people in the same room can pass a device around fot
+ this part.
+
+ -
+ At least one view of the game that every player can
+ see. This can be on individual devices, or by the game
+ host sharing their screen in some fashion, (such as
+ through a video call).
+
+ -
+ Some means for all players to communicate. This could be a
+ video call or some chat room or something else. Of course,
+ it's also possible to play with people in the same room
+ together. If you have the luxury to do that, it's also
+ convenient to have captured players move to sit with their
+ new empires to make it clear which empires remain.
