The rules, step by step
- The President nominates a Chancellor. Everyone votes the government in or out.
- Three rejections in a row and the next policy enacts itself, unread by anyone.
- The President draws three, discards one, and hands two on. The Chancellor enacts one.
- Only those two know what was thrown away — and either of them can claim anything.
- Fascist policies hand out real power: investigations, special elections, executions.
- At five of them the pair may agree to veto, if the President allows it.
- Liberals need five policies or the Dictator dead. Fascists need six, or the Dictator in the chair.
Scoring and the fiddly bits
The deal
One Hitler always, plus one fascist at five or six players, two at seven or eight, three at nine or ten. Fascists see each other and Hitler; liberals see nobody.
The policy deck
Six liberal cards and eleven fascist, drawn from the top. When fewer than three are left the discards are shuffled back in before the draw.
What each fascist policy unlocks
Small tables get a policy peek, then two executions. Bigger tables get investigations and a special election first, then the same two executions.
The election tracker
Three failures in a row — rejections or accepted vetoes — enact the top policy unread. It brings no power with it and everyone becomes eligible again.
Winning
Liberals need five liberal policies or Hitler executed. Fascists need six fascist policies, or Hitler elected Chancellor once three are already up.
