In the year 2018, France finds itself, under the pretext of progressivism, on the verge of turning to authoritarian rule.
A handful of parliament members opposed to the neo-liberal regime seek to counter the corrupt presidency by denouncing its abuses of power and blocking the passage of oppressive laws.
Meanwhile, the government has begun to create a private militia to obey its orders, thanks to the help of a shadowy figure: Alexandre Benalla.
Secret Benalla is a game of deception, lies and betrayal. The players are either opponents of Emmanuel the 1st who win by uncovering the corruption and unmasking Alexandre Benalla, Macronists who win by passing the oppressive laws of the authoritarian regime, or Opportunists who each have unique win conditions that are sometimes ... hard to decipher !
Be careful - even your allies may betray you. Keen observation, scrutiny, and logical reasoning will lead players to triumph, but maybe not a triumph for democracy.
Secret Benalla is a re-implementation of Secret Hitler based on a 2018 French political scandal.
