Quick winning principles
- Track enacted policy ratio—deck reshuffles at 5 enacted.
- Fascists: give liberal policies early to earn chancellor trust.
- Liberals: investigate before electing unknown chancellors in 4-5 fascist policy games.
- Hitler never takes obvious fascist policy—watch chancellors who pass clean.
Ideal strategy
- 1
Deck estimation: after 6 policies enacted, calculate remaining fascist/liberal ratio in deck—chancellor picks become deterministic.
- 2
Fascist tracker manipulation: as president, bury fascist policies in discard when possible—reshuffle timing controls election windows.
- 3
Investigation priority: investigate the most electable unknown player, not the most suspicious—electability predicts Hitler risk.
- 4
Hitler camouflage: fascist players give Hitler liberal policies in first 2 governments to build trust for late Hitler chancellorship.
- 5
Endgame 5 fascist policies: liberals must force confirmed liberals as president/chancellor—one Hitler chancellor ends the game.
