Default Secret Hitler game yanked from Montreal stores after calls from B'nai Brith

Secret Hitler game yanked from Montreal stores after calls from B'nai Brith

Yet “between our three stores, many copies were sold” over the holidays, a Tour de Jeux manager says.

January 13, 2020

A controversial board game called Secret Hitler was removed from the shelves of three Montreal stores on Sunday after a complaint from B’nai Brith Canada.

A member of the Jewish human rights group, which combats racism and anti-Semitism, contacted the Tour de Jeux outlet at the Fairview Shopping Centre in Pointe-Claire after reading posts on Facebook and receiving complaints from members of Montreal’s Jewish community.

The game was developed in 2017 and is set in Germany in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power as chancellor.

Players are secretly divided into two teams, liberals and fascists. The fascists sow distrust and try to install their leader. The liberals must find and stop the Secret Hitler before it’s too late.
