Secret Hitler is a multiplayer hidden identity board card game. It is set in 1930s Germany and there are two teams, liberals and fascists, where liberals have to prevent the fascists from drawing 6 fascist cards or electing Hitler as Chancellor after 3 fascist cards. It was published in 2016 after a successfully funded campaign on Kickstarter.

Gameplay
Players are secretly divided into two teams: liberals and fascists. Known only to each other, the fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader. The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.
Each round, players elect a President and a Chancellor who will work together to enact a law from a random deck. If the government passes a fascist law, players must try to figure out if they were betrayed or simply unlucky (There are more fascist cards than liberal cards in the deck). Secret Hitler also features government powers that come into play as fascism advances. The fascists will use those powers to create chaos unless liberals can pull the nation back from the brink of war.
