How to Play Secret Hitler Guide
What is Secret Hitler about?
If you are looking for a new and exciting game to play with friends. Secret Hitler may be a good choice. The game is not as controversial or serious as its name may suggest. In fact, it’s pretty enjoyable and engaging.
Gameplay
Secret Hitler is a social deduction game set in pre-World War II Germany. Players are divided into two teams – Liberals and Fascists – with one player secretly chosen to be Hitler. Each team has its own objectives.
Secret roles and identities
At the start, each player is secretly assigned to one of the two teams and given a role as a Liberal, Fascist, or Hitler. The Fascists know each other’s identities, but the Liberals do not.
Electing President and Chancellor
In each round, players elect a President and a Chancellor by voting. These roles rotate among players as the game progresses.
Legislative Session
Once a government is elected, the President draws three policy cards (which can be Liberal or Fascist policies) and discards one. The Chancellor then chooses between the remaining two to enact.
Enacting a policy
The policy enacted by the Chancellor reveals nothing about their loyalty, as they might be forced to enact a policy against their team due to the available choices.
Special Powers
As Fascist policies are passed, the President gains special powers, like investigating a player’s loyalty, choosing the next presidential candidate, or even assassinating a player.
Winning the Game:
Liberals win by either passing five Liberal policies or successfully assassinating Hitler.
Fascists win by passing six Fascist policies or if Hitler is elected Chancellor after three Fascist policies have been enacted.
