If the election ends in a tie or more than half of the players vote against the player currently nominated as the Chancellor, the election is considered unsuccessful. After the end of each round, the Presidential role is passed onto the player to the left. There are 6 liberal policy cards and 11 fascist policy cards in the deck at the start of the game. The President then discards one of these cards before giving the other two to the Chancellor, who in turn selects which of these will be passed and enacted, ending the round all discarded cards are placed face down. After each successful election, the President blindly draws three policy cards, each of which could be 'liberal' or 'fascist'.

If more than half of the players vote for the player currently nominated as the Chancellor, that player is granted the office and becomes the new Chancellor. The Chancellor candidate cannot be the current President nor the previously elected Chancellor. The President nominates a candidate for the Chancellorship, and every player, including the proposed government, votes either 'Ja!' (yes) or 'Nein' (no) to the proposal. Īt the start of each round, the player to the left of the previous President becomes the new President (the first President is chosen randomly). In games of seven or more players, the identity of Hitler is known to all other fascists, but the identities of the other fascists are unknown to Hitler. When playing with five or six players, there are only two fascists, one of them being Hitler, and they both know one another. There are always more liberals than there are fascists in each game, but fascists have the advantage of knowing the identities of other fascists, while each liberal knows only their personal affiliation and must determine for themselves which players to trust. Secret Hitler sees players divided into two teams: the liberals and the fascists, the latter also including the Hitler role.

To win the game, both parties are set to competitively enact liberal and fascist policies respectively, or complete a secondary objective directly related to the Hitler role. In Secret Hitler, players assume the roles of liberals and fascists in the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic, with one player becoming Hitler. The board game was designed by Max Temkin, Mike Boxleiter and Tommy Maranges, with artwork created by Mackenzie Schubert, and first released on August 25, 2016.
