Oh, I know this game! My great grandpa played it when he was young, sometime in the 1920s, and won some kind of big match! Though we don't really talk about it at home.
@julieannajones98 the nazis started their rise to power in the 1920’s and Hitler took power in 1933, so the timeline the commenter suggested makes sense with the game being set during the rise of the nazis
Was hoping to dig this out at the weekend with a bunch of my Polish chums. Great tutorial. Now I just need to convince 5 Poles to play a Hitler-centric bluffing game.
Bill Bobaggins “hitler”, “fascists” , and “liberals” are really just stand-ins for the game concept. It’s really not a political game, but if you go to the amazon reviews some people get heated lol.
This was so great! I like to play this game in my classes when we start our WWII unit, but I started explaining it to my 6th graders today since they had extra time. There were a few rules that I forgot! I'm going to show this video to them so that we can play the game on Monday. Thank you!
overall a fantastic guide but I do think it has one glaring issue in that it doesn't discuss hitler being elected as chancellor being a win condition for the fascists. Since even the game itself says it's the primary fascist win condition
@@kabirghai8709 I realize that however I don't think it's addiquate given that the game calls it the primary win condition. I think it should have been brought up a little more indepth
This is my go to for explaining how this game works and if they may want to play. It's such a short video and whilst isn't thorough explains tne overall ideas well enough with a very interesting style.
Joey McCaslin The point I made wasn’t “Tabletop.” The point I made was “Wil Wheaton.” Plus, I’ve heard that the host of GameNight isn’t nearly as good.
@@RhynoBytes857 its not as flashy as Tabletop but the hosts are amazing and they do a great job of explaining games. They are 7 seasons in with over 200 games played.
So I have a game called country-o-poly. it’s about colonization and war. There is some diplomacy and technological advancements that you can use to leverage towards victory. You could fight enemy tribes around the other continents or you could colonize empty land. There is naval battles and land battles . (Air battles are after the 19th century.) besides than that if you have too many players you can play the double government game mode where two players control nations. There is a lot more to explain but u can’t explain them all so if you have a question you can write it down and I can maybe explain it.
The most funny thing to me is that this actually sounds like a very fun game, it rembers me the "Werewolfs of castronegro" game, that has many points on common with this, specially the night part, no only that but this video was on youtube the same year i played werewolfs of castronegro with my classmates and a teacher that show us the rules of the game 😅
There is a game on roblox wich is similiar to this but instead of fascists I think they are communist the name President elect or something I forgot. Its fun even with randoms and you can get into some heated debates.
very complicated, just like politics, and coincidentally like german 1920s politics too. however the game should end if hitler is chancellor and the president dies. i have no idea if this works with the rules
most fun game i have ever played personally, thanks! couldnt find a hard copy (i wonder why) but i printed stuff out for free on the internet. my family had a ton of fun with this one!
This is only if there are 5 players. Fascists and Hitler only know each other’s identities if there are only 5-6 players since that is the minimum players needed to play the game. Once there are more than 6 players, Hitler no longer knows the identities.

Seriously the BEST video explaining Secret Hitler - found it years ago & still use it to explain to new players. Thank you!

Okay so this is the best video for this. Why doesn’t it have an official endorsement?

this video is literally the one they play on their website?

So it’s werewolf with politics?
Its better
this is literally nothing like Werewolf
The thumbnail would also work for a Vox video
Yes, the production definitely reminds me of Vox, and I mean that as a compliment.
Vox if it didn't suck 💀
Fun fact: Vox is also a fascist party in Spain

amazing, where to buy?
elon forgot the secret part
what a great great introduction to a boardgame. well done guys!
Instructions unclear, accidently invaded half of europe
I so wanted Wil to say "Its time to play, Secret Hitler" and do his Vanna White move. God do I miss TableTop.....
3:35 a friend of mine told me how he played this game and that his friends always try to shot him first cause he had immense luck on being the painter
Crazy that this is getting recommended now.
I know it's been said in the comments already, but man, this makes me miss TableTop. And also, excellent video!
So it’s “Mafia”? Idk if anyone else played it, but it’s a game I thought ppl knew about
I would say ,,mafia" is more like games genre than one specific itself
@ ah, I see
@@RamanNoodles01 it's more like Spy than Mafia, but both are Social Deduction games, yes.

i didnt even realize whil wheaton was here
CAN THIS BE A GAME PLEASE
3:42 Is that the sound of a luger? Now that's reallistic
I’d like nein of these.
This game has created more conflicts than the actual WW2.
Ive beeb playing this with regular cards lmao, for the last 2 years
Who are you and how did you get Wil Wheaton?
All the discarded cards go back into the pack(under)?
This hinges on the players disliking Hitler.
Yoo, I saw computer game that repeated those rules, sadly it is unpopular now, but glad to see smth like original
Theres game called werewolf wolvesville ,not the same thing but the same genre
The Narrator gives me the willies.

isn't this The Purge Dilemma but physical card game form?
wow this is good.
scary good.
This video just makes me want table top back
So...when can we get this?
is it possible my game did not come with the two president and chancellor things? I have two large sheets instead
my grandad plated this in real life
Can I play this game 15-34 people?
no
@@yoshae8076 thanks mate!
The veto option was not included in this video that gets implemented if the fascists have five policies
Great game, only need to find 4 more friends
Pro Tip: If you're playing with a sociopath, don't.
I played this game with my Youth Group, it’s great.
Great video! Love the content. Keep it up. Better than rules girl.
No freikorps option
Thats basically mafia with extra steps
That's an interesting take on Germany in 1930'th. Though, i'm not sure what board games have to do with it.

make it an online game?
Question: if I am secret hitler and I get voted counselor right at the beginning then is that it? Game over?
I think it has to be after 3 policy cards are inacted

Once my teacher brought this game 10/10
Look into pre-nazi Germany. There’s a good book about it but I can’t think of the name of it right now.
So this is what Will Wheaton is doing nowadays
Many friendships broken due to this game !! :)
Are you going to actually show the game being played? It looks like you guys are having fun.
As a German I need this to play it with my neighbours LOL
When i played this everyone disagreed 10x straight
so where can i buy this?
Gonna play this with my Jewish friends
Isn't there a Roblox game that's played like this called "Dictator" where instead of Hitler, they just use the terms "Dictator" and "Authoritarian"?
I thought this was a meme video...
I do like the idea. I miss the third faction of commies. It would be much more intresting game.
There are plenty of mods out there, you just have to look for them.
