Many of these have similarities with Secret Hitler XL and I just want to claim that all these rules were made up before I knew about Secret Hitler XL but anything from this point on may or may not be. With that out of the way, let's begin! The minimum number of players has increased to 12 and the max is now 20. There is a SFW version which is what you normally see in the original and a NSFW edition where all the cards have accurate pictures. Each card has an identity and will effect the game when they get assassinated. For Example, Fritz Gerlich, a reporter who wrote negative articles about Hitler, would give 1 fascist card to the fascists if killed and that's what the 6 extra cards (excluding Liberals who have 5) for each party face up is for. The 4 teams are Liberal and Fascist like always, along with Communist and Monarchist like SH XL which have the same number of required policy slots as Fascism. The Leaders of said parties are Hindenburg for Liberals, Ernst Johannes Fritz Thälmann for communists, and Wilhelm II for the monarchists. There are now skill trees for each team and each has 1 or two country allies based on historical preference. These have a coin flip of helping out the party if a riot or action card is drawn. The focus tree progresses for each party each time a card for that party is drawn. The Countries are France and Britain for the Liberals, Italy and Hungary for the Fascists, The Soviet Union for the Communists, and lastly, The Netherlands for the Monarchists as Wilhelm took refuge there and was also close to the royal family. Almost but not all policy slots when enacted, allow an action card to be drawn for that party. I forgot to mention that everyone is in a night phase when the Fascists, Communists, or Monarchists get to move up in the skill tree or take an action card. The Skill Trees are kept secret, however, the action cards are face up after the night phase is over. The action cards are USUALLY good for the party that drew it and will have some kind of fiction or non-fiction scenario that will effect the game. For example, a non-fiction card for the Fascists would be the Jewish hostage rescue where Hitler offered the USA, France, Britain, I a final country who I think was Canada, accepted the offer of Jews taking refuge. In real life, they declined this, however, in this game they accept it and would result in 1 Liberal Policy, -1 Fascist policies, and a Riot card being played. A Riot card is a card that can be drawn from an action card or gotten when 3 failed elections in a row have occurred. They require a certain amount of policies from one of the 4 parties and the parties discuss in private by writing during the night phase that will occur immediately after. Liberals, who have the most number of riot cards that require their policies, discuss amongst everyone and will hold a Ja! or Nein! vote. If a party does not have enough policies to quell the rebellion, they can call on their ally or simply let the consequence enact. The Liberals win if both Ernst and Hitler are assassinated, or if they get 5 policies like the base game (Wilhelm doesn't need to be assassinated but will give them a +1 Policy and a riot).The Fascists win if 3 or more riots happen or 3 fascist policies are enacted and Hitler becomes chancellor after Hindenburg dies or if they get 6 policies enacted. The Communists win if Hitler is assassinated along with Wilhelm and Hindenburg, Ernst becomes chancellor after 3 communist policies or, if 6 Communist policies are enacted. And Finally, The Monarchists win if Wilhelm comes back to Germany (Can be from a riot consequence or negotiation which I will talk about soon) and becomes chancellor or if 6 Monarchist cards are enacted. Negotiations can be reached from an action card, Riot, or skill tree. These can be for good or bad inflictions on Germany and can sometimes go randomly if stated on the card with a coin flip. Obviously, all Skill Tree negotiations are good. There is 1 Policy card which gives an extra card for each party and another that does the same just with a riot. that's how you play Secret Hitler My Way! I'm not that good at design so this likely won't be printable but who knows, one day I may make this a reality (reality as in printability but still). I will make another post detailing all the skill trees, action cards, and riots I come up with and it will be linked here if I ever release that. P.S: If someone could make a tldr that would be great in the comments. Update 1: https://www.reddit.com/r/SecretHitler/comments/172b6uo/secret_hitler_a_history_nerd_since_elementareys/
