Well, Max Temkin is one of the original developers of "Secret Hitler"... Having this video on his TH-cam channel seems to me like at least a semi-endorsement of the vid..
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!
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
Sometimes simplicity is the best way. Look at the Confirmed Not Hitler card the Tabletop Simulator player created ; it ruins the balance and make libs even more powerful.
How 'bout a twist home rule? Nazis are a separate faction, who can use the "purge" power, so to speak, and everyone has to band to defend against the Nazis. A) The hilarity of Fascists and Communists having to band together. B) Reflects real life, where other fascists were purged by the Nazis, austrofascists and strasserites.
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.
so if president is random and is fascist cuz u know rng and elects hitler as chancellor and it gets through, then the games literally over in a minute?
Need to have the trump fascist cards updated with bill barr and steve mnuchin instead of bannon and spicer... and have that more widely distributed....
I love everything about this, but man, something about potentially being "Hitler" and by extension playing a game that forces me to root for and really want Hitler and his Nazis to win and do what they do just really rubs me the wrong way. Like, did I just spend half an hour secretly desiring to successfully orchestrate the Holocaust? I guess we ALL are the "Secret" Hitler. The philosophical repercussions will haunt me forever. :(
The most interesting thing about secret Hitler is that it's a solved game and the liberals literally can't lose as long as they implement an authoritarian method of playing the game😅
such a well made and executed video everything from the script, wil's voice, the expressions of the players to the game itself is interesting
Does the game come with 8-10 friends?
Yes you can play at any amount 5 or above
@@foodhi2880 I think you missed the joke.
EightThreeEight Ohhh I didn’t see the wording lol.
5-10 players
Baltiyar Balcıoğlu did you miss the joke?
Possibly the best explanation video for this game on TH-cam
Okay so this is the best video for this. Why doesn’t it have an official endorsement?
Well, Max Temkin is one of the original developers of "Secret Hitler"... Having this video on his TH-cam channel seems to me like at least a semi-endorsement of the vid..
The instructions link to this video when you buy the game
The official secret hitler app links to this vid for the "how to play".
this video is literally the one they play on their website?
@@franman781 is it an app? I didn't see anything to download
just seems to be a website
Aaaah the good old days me and my friends used to play every night. Now none of us talks to each other because of lies.
That's the fun of this type of game.
Seriously the BEST video explaining Secret Hitler - found it years ago & still use it to explain to new players. Thank you!
IIII
The fact that I watched so much of Wil Wheaton's tabletop that I instantly recognized him.
Thank you I completely understand how to play and I dont even have the game yet

My grandparents love this game
What's next? 9/11 Jenga?
I like that. Mind if I steal it?
@@jstohler steal away Mon frere
Haha lmao

Does that come with model airplanes? 😉 (too soon?)
The thumbnail would also work for a Vox video
Yes, the production definitely reminds me of Vox, and I mean that as a compliment.
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.
I love the amount of thought that went into this

what a great great introduction to a boardgame. well done guys!
Thank you for the great presentation
I so wanted Wil to say "Its time to play, Secret Hitler" and do his Vanna White move. God do I miss TableTop.....
Thank you for that, Hwil Hweaton!
Step 1: look for a mustache
I know it's been said in the comments already, but man, this makes me miss TableTop. And also, excellent video!
This is the best explanation for me
All the discarded cards go back into the pack(under)?
Thanks, really visual so it helped seeing it played out with actual people. Seems so simple now
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.
The 1920s? So, ~20 years before WWII? 🤔
I would love to see Wil Wheaton play this on Tabletop!!!
If tabletop was still around 😞
Tabletop isnt a thing..but check out GameNight!

Great video! Love the content. Keep it up. Better than rules girl.
The Narrator gives me the willies.
Great job
is it possible my game did not come with the two president and chancellor things? I have two large sheets instead
This video just makes me want table top back
nice video!
That was such a good tutorial
Ive beeb playing this with regular cards lmao, for the last 2 years
Oh, cool
Many friendships broken due to this game !! :)
Wheatooooooonnnnn!!!!!
I do like the idea. I miss the third faction of commies. It would be much more intresting game.
Sometimes simplicity is the best way. Look at the Confirmed Not Hitler card the Tabletop Simulator player created ; it ruins the balance and make libs even more powerful.
There are plenty of mods out there, you just have to look for them.
Who are you and how did you get Wil Wheaton?
That's an interesting take on Germany in 1930'th. Though, i'm not sure what board games have to do with it.
Seems to work very well for a drink game! (as politic itself lol)
I want this game so bad
This game has created more conflicts than the actual WW2.
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
@@coleklaassen9427 3 fascist policies that is
The veto option was not included in this video that gets implemented if the fascists have five policies
So this is what Will Wheaton is doing nowadays
Are you going to actually show the game being played? It looks like you guys are having fun.
Can I play this game 15-34 people?
no
@@yoshae8076 thanks mate!
what a good game
2:34 Hitler got angry
Hello
This game is a exact replica of a game called avalon except they have a medieval theme
Untrue, go watch the developer's GDC video first: th-cam.com/video/6-IJZrrMFpE/w-d-xo.html.
When I buy this game to play with my cousins. Them: how do you play? Me: its difficult to explain. Watch this video before we play
Sorry basically Ultimate Werewolf with propaganda inserted.

...but the directions say Hitler opens his eyes and "does" know who the other fascists are....so??
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.
Can’t wait for the sequel, Secret Trump!
so if president is random and is fascist cuz u know rng and elects hitler as chancellor and it gets through, then the games literally over in a minute?
That only applies after 3 or 4 fascist policies have been put into place. Can't happen before then.
@@Bag3lzAs late response but thx anyway im stupid

It's just a board game. Nobody is actually condoning Nazism.
EightThreeEight ‘Twas not writ in earnest.
Then 'twas not effective irony, either.
@@NCbassfishing24 fair enough
Left Wing popaganda the boardgame...
joke right?
The most interesting thing about secret Hitler is that it's a solved game and the liberals literally can't lose as long as they implement an authoritarian method of playing the game😅
Is this a breakdown of the current GOP's wet dreams?
