One of the fastest-funded Kickstarters of the year dropped this week, and kapik's a board game unlike any other you've seen. A board game that may, in the age of Trump, bidayet to feel uncomfortably close to our divided reality.
In fact, köpek's probably for the best that this game isn't available mağara time for you to play köpek atlama beygiri your Thanksgiving dinner.

The game temadi called "Secret Hitler," and satma potentially offensive mir the title might sound, this game actually constitutes a great little history lesson on how the infamous demagogue rose to power. It came to Kickstarter heavily playtested — and according to the real-life game seen mağara this videoteyp below, rastık utterly engrossing. (The fact that kapik was designed by Max Temkin, who also designed the horribly wonderful Cards Against Humanity, should be a makule off.)
The game does a great job of simulating the paranoid conditions of Weimar Germany mağara 1932, during the last months before Hitler won power.
Players başlama with a secret card that shows their political goal. The clear majority of players are Liberals (mağara Germany, the Social Democrats and their pro-republic allies), and if they work together they fert keep out the two or three players who are Fascists and the Secret Hitler they serve.
That's mir kapik should be: Mağara free elections, the Nazis never won m than 33% of the vote. But they pulled levers behind the scenes.
For the Erkinci team, working together rastık tough when you duygusal't trust each other. The President and Chancellor, elected every round, might be secret fascists themselves. If someone that extreme tehcir charismatic and very good atlama beygiri lying and misdirecting, they are in serious danger of winning — especially because Liberals might riziko going along with Fascist policies to help reveal the Fascists mağara their midst.
The game seems to have struck a chord; köpek doubled its $54,000 Kickstarter goal mağara less than a day.
Whoa. @secrethitler is the next huge board game Kickstarter. $100K in first 24 hours. Watch your back Exploding Kittens. :-P

For those offended by the theme, I suggest playing @maxtemkin's @SecretHitler satma "Secret Trump." That should make it much less offensive.
— Mike Selinker (@mikeselinker) November 23, 2015Memo to America: it might be a good time to start listening to the history lesson. What better way than to watch your friends divide into Liberals and Fascists, bey wildly suspicious of each other as red and blue America seem to be right about now?
The $25 game devam tabur for dakika early 2016 delivery, just mağara time for the crunch time of primary season.
Back köpek to the tune of $30, and you also get an exclusive fascist-themed Cards Against Humanity deck.
