I never thought about this approach but you are right, LAN would simplify many things.

You just need a server, which receives user input and sends the current changes of the game scene to the clients. The ping time should be lower than the refresh rate of the monitor, so the player shouldn't notice any difference between playing on the server PC or on a client PC.
