## Prompt

```text
Plan a virtual game night for friends or family who live far apart.

**Number of people:** [NUMBER]
**Who they are:** [ages and tech comfort - e.g. "college friends", "grandparents on tablets"]
**Video tool we use:** [e.g. "whatever's free", or the one we already use]
**Time zones:** [LIST]
**Length:** [e.g. "90 minutes"]
**Vibe:** [chill and chatty / competitive / silly]

Give me:
1. The best start time across our time zones.
2. 4-5 game ideas that work over video, favoring ones that need nothing but a camera, paper, or a free browser game. For each: how it works on a call, what each player needs, and how to keep score.
3. A run-of-show with times: catch-up chat, warm-up, main games, a break, a finale, and goodbyes.
4. How to split into teams or breakout rooms if the group is big.
5. A tech checklist to send guests the day before (charge device, test camera, link), written for the least techy person.
6. Backup plans if someone's connection drops or a game won't load.
7. A short invite message.

Only suggest free tools or games you're confident exist, and tell me to check current availability and age ratings before sharing links.
