Secret Hitler

This has been such a fun game for my friends and me. The quality of the box and the cards were great and all the pieces were there. It even comes with a high quality rules book that clearly lays out how to play. If you like strategy and secret identity games, this is one for you!

Arguably the best party game I've played. This is a social deduction game that plays up to 12. Each player will receive the role of a Liberal or a Fascist. However, one player will receive the role of Hitler, who is also part of the Fascist team.....makes sense. Hitler does not know who his Fascist comrades are, but the other Fascist know which player has the Hitler role. Meanwhile, the Liberals are all left in the dark and have to figure it out as the game goes. The goal of the game is for the Liberals to either assassinate Hitler, or get more policies voted in than the Fascists. The Fascists win if Hitler becomes elected Chancellor, or if they have more policies voted in over the Liberals. Each round, the next player, in clockwise rotation, runs for president, they choose who they'd like as their chancellor running-mate. The players will vote on this tandem to be okay or not okay. If voted okay, these two players receive 3 face-down policies, which will be labeled fascist or liberal. The policies don't do anything, they're just labeled. The president will secretly eliminate one policy, then the chancellor secretly chooses which one will be voted in from the remaining 2. This repeats each round until on of the win conditions in met. This game is so much fun. The first time our group got it to the table, it was played probably 7 times consecutively. There was shouting, controversy, couples arguing, laughs, shifty eyes, and paranoia. By the end of the game you assume no one is trustworthy! I like to think there's two types of tension in gaming, good and bad. This game brings out the good, and it brings out a lot of it! It's created plenty of inside joking to the point where our group is claiming another player being a fascist during a completely different game. I can't recommend it enough. Easy to learn. The rule book is straight forward. The only recommendation I have is to play with 7+ players. That's a tall order because it's not always easy to get that many together, but there are a couple of extra abilities given to the liberal players as more fascists policies come in. Those abilities are reduced when playing with fewer. The game shines with more, which is a rare thing to say, but trust me here. If you have the opportunity of 7+ players, this game will do the trick!

This game is without a doubt the best board game you can bring to game night. First, the reactions of your friends and family when you pull it out is hilarious. You will get weird looks, and people will question it, but as soon as you get them playing they love it, too. It's a very simple social deduction game that you can play practically anywhere with a level surface for the game board. Speaking of the game boards, they are built amazingly. The box itself is great quality, as well. I would recommend playing this game with as many people as possible, but even at 5 players, this game is really fun.

Didn't love the name, but my son requested it as a gift because of high ratings with board game fans. We have played it several times with mixed groups and it is a hit. This game is NOT about politics. It is a cooperative game with a few "bad actors" that majority have to sleuth out. If you are a good detective, a good liar or someone who loves to watch those who get very invested in winning votes, this is a game for you!

Secret Hitler is an absolute favourite whenever we get a group together — it creates genuine tension and hilarious moments every round. The roles and hidden information ramp up the paranoia in the best way, and the game plays quickly enough (about 30–60 mins) that we always want another go. Components are clear and easy to use, rules are straightforward once everyone has played a round, and it’s perfect for parties or competitive groups who love bluffing and strategy. Highly replayable and always sparks lively debate afterwards.

Un juego de mesa muy divertido, no muy profundo pero tampoco muy complejo de entender. Las partidas son relativamente cortas, de unos 30-40min, por lo que dan ganas de hacer varias en una sesión. Los materiales se ven de calidad. Perfecto para reuniones con amigos.

Knew this game because a friend had it and I had to have one. It's a "werewolf" style game where you have to find out who are the "fascists" and vote liberal laws before the bad guys win.

super jeu de coopération avec ennemis cachés, sur thème politiques. Les moments de discussions peuvent être faits en "role-play", c'est super. A comparer avec un loup-garou (mais largement mieux) ou among-us (sur plateau) Les mécaniques sont incroyablement bien équilibrées, que ce soit à 6, 8 ou 10 joueurs. Le jeu est aussi vraiment très beau, le plateau de jeu est magnifique. Petit bémol, les règles manquent 1 ou 2 détails (qui commence la partie ?). Ils indiquent d'utiliser l'appli pour avoir plus de détails, mais bon, pour si peu je pense qu'ils auraient pu caser cela quelque part. Je ne pénalise pas car c'est vraiment du détail. Ca serait bien je pense aussi d'avoir une version "politiquement correct", sur un thème plus facile à accepter pour certains joueurs, mais la grande majorité comprendra le côté fiction. A jouer donc avec des adultes aux faits du ton à prendre sur ce type de jeu.

i do a casual games night with games that are fun and simple to learn and play. this game was extremely popular. the rules can seem daunting, but after one or 2 rounds everyone knew what was going on. gameplay moves at a good pace, and a game is fairly short, 30 minutes or so. while the game works with fewer people, after reading the rules i decided i dont want to play this game with less than 7 players because it affects the ratio of fascists to liberals. it took a long time to get enough people together but it was worth it. there is as much or as little strategy as each player wants to use. some players get insanely into the layers of intrigue and espionage in the game, as verifiable information is limited, players can pass info freely, but aren't obligated to tell the truth it can be a real logic challenge to weed out who the fascists are. it seems as if the liberals have a bit of an advantage, as there are more of them and fascists often have to act in interest of liberals not to out themselves, but that makes a fascist win that much better. the game feels vastly different depending on what faction you play, as liberals start knowing nothing, but as a fascist you know who is on your side as well as who hitler is, so you start with a camaraderie with certain players you must hide, while the liberals are in fear anyone could be a fascist or hitler. this is an easy to learn, extraordinarily fun game to play that allows players to engage at levels of strategy that are comfortable for them, where other games with high levels of scheming force all players to adhere to the level of strategy to compete or have fun. this is especially good since this game can accommodate up to 10 players
