Secret Hitler, a Game That Simulates Fascisms Rise, Becomes a Hit
I was house-sitting for my brother this summer when I saw something suspicious: a box in his living room emblazoned with the words “Secret Hitler.”
On his return, I confronted him. “What in God’s name is that?” I asked, pointing at the box.
“It’s a board game,” he said, rolling his eyes.
More specifically, Secret Hitler is a social deduction game, one that has caught on quickly since it began to ship to players last summer. It’s like Mafia, or Werewolf, or other games in which players try to identify a traitor in their midst.
