This is a Secret Dictator Tournament. If you are unfamiliar with this board game, it is a dramatic game of political intrigue and betrayal set in 1930s Germany. Each player is randomly and secretly assigned to be a liberal or a fascist, and one player is Secret Dictator. The fascists coordinate to sow distrust and install their cold-blooded leader; the liberals must find and stop the Secret Dictator before it's too late. The liberal team always has a majority at the start of a game.

Each round, players elect a President and a Chancellor who will work together to enact a law from a random deck. If the government passes a fascist law, players must try to figure out if they were betrayed or simply unlucky. Secret Dictator also features government powers that come into play as fascism advances. The fascists will use those powers to create chaos unless liberals can pull the nation back from the brink of war.

The objective of the liberal team is to pass five liberal policies or assassinate the Secret Dictator. The objective of the fascist team is to pass six fascist policies or elect the Secret Dictator chancellor after three fascist policies have passed.

For this tournament, we will be using a point method that gives more points to those who are assigned a fascist role and even more if they were Secret Dictator and survived. After several round-robin games, play will proceed to final games based on players’ points. We will unveil the best players and a Secret Dictator champion!
