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 to select a character at the beginning of the game + so multiple people in the same room can pass a device around + for 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. +
