Not sure if this is the right forum to post it in, but 'Other Board Games' is specifically in the title, feel free to move.

This is a social deconstruction game like Mafia that will come out shortly (March/April). Was funded on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects.../secret-hitler

People like Totalbiscuit have been playing it last few weeks with a board game simulator:



Looks like a lot of fun, i like listening to the game and figuring out who is who.

Can download the game/rules and use the print off version here.

Main question i have for those who have played it is how to balance it for 5 players. Game seems obviously meant for 7-10, but playing 5 games this weekend the good side (liberals) won every time. If anyone knows some custom rules to balance it let me know, otherwise this thread is for anyone who wants to talk about the game

I'm interested in this kind of thing, and it's definitely on topic, but you might get better luck crossposting in POG

Yeah, I am glad you posted here because I'm definitely intrigued and wouldn't have seen it otherwise, and technically this is probably the "right" place for it... but POG will probably be a better place to actually get discussion and response.

some discussion and attempts to run a game on POG, not sure if they ever actually ran a game

Did they REALLY have to reference Hitler in the title?

Cards against Humanity isn't exactly known for being PC.

Played this a few times now. It is pretty fun to say the least. +1 CAH Team

It is quite funny that they view liberalism as the opposite of fascism. Don't forget that socialists are anti-fascists too. Obviously the neo-liberals are going through great lengths to promote their cause.

If you are against neo-liberalism, you must be a nazi!

Printed this off and have been playing it with 5-10 people the past few days almost non-stop. It's a blast.

I feel like 6-8 is just right. 10 is too many. Even 5 is better than 10.

I've got a large group of people that can play, so I keep getting new players and we have to play games where 2-3 people don't really know what's going on. Sometimes they are young, too, and combined with being new to the game, don't really know when they should be sharing info, lying, etc. The more I play the more I want to play with better players. (the worst is when I open my eyes as a fascist and see that my 2 team-mates are noobs).

Anyway, highly recommended.

I started a 2+2 forum thread game of Secret Hitler on Other Games. Here's a link.

Nice, so it was insta-merged with other failed attempts at getting people to play.

We are playing a 6 player game of this on Puzzles and Other Games subforum if anyone wants to check in on it. It's been...interesting.

It started on the 4th of July and is still going.
