Application designed and developed from the original board game by Chris Ozols. Due to a fairly complicated UI and text-driven gameplay this application is not mobile-optimized, but should work OK on mobile devices in theory. Source code available at GitHub. Bugs/issues? Contact me via email, discord channel, or open a GitHub issue.

Be nice.
No player abuse. This means insulting or attacking players who don't play exactly the way you wanted. Breaking this can and will result in bans.
Language used must be acceptable in "normal" US-style civil discussion. Words like "retard" are not allowed in any circumstance. Think "if I talked like this in public at work/school, would I get in trouble?" and if so, clean it up. Explicitly disallowed stuff: homophobic/racist/sexist/nazi/anti-religious-group content. No hate speech.
Play to win for the team you're dealt. Be a good loser and a gracious winner.
Don't AFK or rage quit.
Don't leave an ongoing match unless another player has left, been removed, or has been AFK for at least 3 minutes. Breaking this will result in bans.
Don't cheat.
Don't collude or multiaccount. Don't try to turn away newbies from your games. Don't attempt to circumvent things like not being able to select text from the gamechat or screenshotting/uploading your role. No typing into chat what your role card looks like i.e. "I'm the old lady lib". No TOR users. Public game chat must be in a language that all players know.
Usernames must not consist of ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, or content that is pornographic, obscene, or abusive. Usernames that do not adhere to these rules may be toggled to private-games-only or banned by moderators, however, meme usernames such as "HutlerDidNothingWrong" or "dickbutt" are probably OK. If you wish to sign up with a username that is not allowed, please do us all a favor and toggle on "Private game player only" when setting up an account.
Everything in the general terms of use, plus: no pornography or anything not safe for work, no nazi imagery whatsoever including images of historical figures (very slight exemptions for parody may be OK on a case-by-case basis - no swastikas), no images/screenshots of the game itself to attempt to trick people (no matter how amusing it is..).
While some leeway may be given at moderator discretion, private games are still subject to the above site rules. Private games are not really private in that anyone can observe them, but only seated players and moderators can see chat. If you are here only to play private games and desperately need to call people NSFW things in chat or name yourself inappropriately, please make sure you check the "private game only" option when signing up, or convert yourself to that option in the game settings screen.
Secret Hitler is designed by Max Temkin (Cards Against Humanity, Humans vs. Zombies) Mike Boxleiter (Solipskier, TouchTone), Tommy Maranges (Philosophy Bro) and illustrated by Mackenzie Schubert (Letter Tycoon, Penny Press).

-
Minor image alterations and editing (assets available upon request).
-
Veto power is slightly adjusted so that chancellors need to select a policy prior to saying yes or no to vetoing that policy.
-
Adapted the rules explanation to account for online vs physical play.
-
There is an option when players make a game to "rebalance" the 6, 7 and 9 player games - 6p starts with a fascist policy already enacted, 7p starts with one less fascist policy in the deck, 9p starts with two less fascist policies in the deck. Players (and results from analyzing statistics) have noted that these game modes are not balanced well in the original ruleset.
