KILL HITLER
INTRODUCTION
Card game for 2-4+ players. 1940-45.
Players represent various elements of the German Resistance trying to
assassinate Hitler.
WINNING
Be the first player to Assassinate Hitler. If Hitler is not killed after the
players have gone through the deck twice then Hitler survives, the German
Resistance is crushed, and all the players lose.
THE DECK
Players share a Common Deck.
There are 6 card Types:
Method (Plot Card. Weapons used in an attempt)
Conspirator (Plot Card. Key Personnel involved)
Venue (Plot Card. Exact Building or Location the Fuhrer is currently in)
Locale (Plot Card. City or Region the Fuhrer is currently in)
Save (Events that Prevent an assassination)
Action (Events with Special effects)
DICE
Six sided dice (D6) are needed.
SETUP
Shuffle the Deck. The Deck is kept face down.
Each player is dealt a hand of 5 cards.
Roll high on 1D6 to see who goes first.
TURN SEQUENCE
Players take turns.
Each turn has 5 phases:
1. Fate Phase
2. Plot Phase
3. Foil Phase
4. Kill Phase
5. End Phase
FATE PHASE
Draw 1 card from the deck and put it in your hand.
If the deck runs out, shuffle the discard and draw from it.
PLOT PHASE
You may put 1 or more Plot cards into play.
Place these face up in front of you.
A Complete Plot consists of 1 of each of the 4 different types of Plot Cards:
Method, Conspirator, Venue, Locale.
You may have a maximum of 1 of each type of Plot card in play.
FOIL PHASE
Any opponent may play (discard) 1 or more Save cards.
A Save card causes the target indicated Plot card to be discarded.
You may immediately play a Plot card from your hand to replace the
card eliminated by the Save Card.
KILL PHASE
If you have Complete Plot in play, roll 1 die for each of the 4 Plot cards.
(This is called the Assassination Attempt).
For each odd number you roll, discard 1 Plot card.
If all the rolls are even, the Attempt is a success, you have killed Hitler, and
you win the game.
END PHASE
Max hand size is 7 cards. Discard excess cards.
