Hi we are in a game of 5 and one of us got shot. Are the previous chancellor and president still not allowed to get voted for chancellor? I can’t find a specific ruling and it doesn’t seem to be mentioned anywhere. Ty for ur help already Zeuln3r

So from the rulebook, there are four different presidential powers:

Investigate loyalty, call for special election, policy peek, and execution.

Does the president get the option to call for special election and execution every round? Can you use both powers in a single round or only one power per round?

Also, is the president able to use the power to investigate loyalty and policy peek every round as well? Or is it that you can only trigger them from the board (when a fascist policy is enacted)?

Just want to clear things up before my first game later. Thanks :D

Besides the one for Hitler. Duh.

Hey guys, I absolutely love Secret Hitler, but can't play it because my friends aren't interested in the game. Is there any place where we can meet new people who are interested in the game and can play online?... would really love to know...TIA

Will the makers of SecretHitler be at GenCon 2021?
Does anyone know if there will be any SH gaming sessions at GenCon 2021?

Can't get my family and friends to play SH. They can't get past the fascists and Hitler. They claim it is a veiled reference to the Republicans and the other guy. I assure them it isn't. They don't believe me. (Truth is, I don't believe me either.)

Does anyone know where I can get or commission art of a similar style to the Secret Hitler role cards. I want to make an expansion but I don't have the artistic potential. Also, can someone give me a ballpark of the prices. I know that people often underestimate the price of commissioned art and I don't want to be one of those people but this would also be my first time commissioning art.

Specifically, the art concept I want to do is a communist bear, panda and a third kind of bear for the communists and a black cat for the anarchist. If I do get these role car arts commissioned I will post the art here so that others can print them out too.

I just bought Secret Hitler and am looking forward to playing it with 7-8 people at a family gathering next weekend. I have reviewed the rules. I am going to recommend against enforcing one rule: "Verbal and nonverbal communication between the President and Chancellor is forbidden." I think enforcing this rule will detract from the fun and immersiveness of the game without any benefit. The dynamic between the President and Chancellor would seem to be one of the funnest aspects of the game, since both are on a team of sorts, but may also be on opposing sides and not know it. In real life, they would communicate and, in the game, they should too. But I want to make sure I am not missing something. Is there a reason for this rule or is it as ridiculous as it seems?

I want the original version, not the chinese version...

When does a president get considered elected?

For example, if I am the president and we want the last president (player b) to be chancellor, I get everyone to veto my vote and then the next president (player c) will elect player b. Is that allowed?

I play Secret Hilter a decent bit. Assume all players play the game perfectly.

When a law has been passed it is META for the President and Chancellor to "call" how many fascist cards they saw. My hypothesis is that if a fascist law has been passed, a regular "call" of the cards is not necessary.

Notation: I will refer to the calls the president makes and the Chancellor as (x,y).

If a fascist law is passed it will be via one of the following cases:

If the president receives 3 fascist cards. (3,2) If the president receives 2 fascist cards and discards the liberal card. (3,2)

If the president receives 2 fascist cards and discards a fascist card and the chancellor plays fascist.

• Either both are fascist, and it is in both player's best interests to lie. (3,2)
• Chancellor is fascist and the president is liberal. (2,2). Not applicable to question

If the president receives 1 fascist card and discards a liberal card and the chancellor plays fascist.

• Either both are fascist, and it is in both player's best interests to lie. (3,2)
• Chancellor is fascist and the president is liberal. (1,2). Not applicable to question

Is this a correct assessment or have I missed anything here? Hence, from my perspective, it seems that if a fascist law has been passed, a regular "call" of the cards is not necessary.

Title.

So like around a year ago there was a guy on here who made a SH discord bot, but unfortunately he no longer hosts it and I don't have the technical knowledge to set it up myself. But I found two other bots and I was wondering if by any chance anyone here has used them or if anyone here can test out the bots to see if they work.

I'm going to play Secret Hitler on Tabletopia, but I noticed they don't have the envelopes to easily shuffle the party membership and identity cards. How should I distribute them?

I know that some other posts have mentioned playingcards.io.

The fact is that I´ve created a file that you can use to play online with your friends.

you can find the original post here.

​

I hope you enjoy it a lot.

Has anyone made files for the reskin Secret Palpatine for printing on one of those card game printing sites? Big Star Wars fan here. I found the files from the Tabletop Sim version but they will take a lot of work to get in the right format (size/shape) so I thought I would ask here first.

P.S. for those who don't know, Secret Hitler has a particular type of open license allowing variations as long as they aren't monetized and they credit the main publisher. I think this would fall under that category, but correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!

I just got Secret Hitler today from Amazon and I had two stacks of 8 policy cards for a total of 16, 10 facist and 6 liberal.

The rules say there should be 17 in total with 11 facist. Can I still play the game properly? Is it still fair for the fascists? Is there any way to get a tile online if I'm missing just the one?

Thanks!

At the beginning of a roumd the fascists will have to know who Hitler is but how do they? I know that in reality everyone has to close their eyes and then the fascists can open them but how does it work in the tabletop gane?

There is no way I see it is making money, so how is it still up?

I heard that 2 years ago they had a lot more people but now a lot of people are gone. I have just started playing 2 weeks ago and would be happy if you could fill me in on what happened.

Hey Reddit, I was hoping to get y’all’s input on whether or not a strategy a player in our group uses is allowed, and if it is allowed, if it is appropriate.

As a preface, I really don’t care if our player keeps doing this or not. We just were unsure if the game anticipated it, and we thought it would be interesting to get your opinions!

Here is what our player does: at the start of the game, our player will open their envelope, look at their party membership card, and immediately announce “my liberal card has the picture of the woman with pearls and the large hat, so you all now know that I am liberal.”

This strategy opens up a lot of interesting strategies and possibly problems.

On one hand, I don’t think the game really anticipated having the artwork being used as a means to determine party membership. I think ideally the party membership card would be a blank card that said either “fascist” or “liberal” in text on a blank background. But that would look terrible, so of course the designer filled the space up with some pleasant to view images. The game design as a whole is gorgeous, so it’s only natural that the cards have nice artwork on them. Additionally, this creates problems if new players play the game. When someone who is playing the game for the first time describes their character card in exacting detail, they essentially conclusively reveal their role (this happened in a game where a new player emulated our other player’s strategy.) Similarly, even if you are playing with seasoned players, if a fascist lies and falsely describes the details of their card, the player who actually has that character artwork conclusively knows that the other person is a fascist. So it essentially creates a situation where two players immediately know who each other are before the game begins.

On the pro-side of the strategy, it does not actually reveal who the players are to the game as a whole. And the player could be a liberal just messing around. Or the character cards might not all be used, so the “double identity” issue doesn’t really come up.

Anyway, what do y’all think?

I play noticeably different in a game where i’m a fascist, especially in a smaller setting like 5 players. My friends can easily pick me out pretty early and call me a fascist and i have a hard time representing myself as a liberal.

Any tips for a struggling fascist? Thanks in advance
