I’d agree that playing with unknown people is more random feeling… but the second game! Oh man, the magic of introducing Werewolf is not the first playthrough. It’s when the room of strangers recaps what went on and people file away who lied and who told the truth and who led the lynch mobs and so on… and then they take that knowledge into a second game and WHAM, they’re playing a much deeper game.
Bang is ok, but there is a definite positional disadvantage to being to the sheriff’s right, as that person often gets killed before their first turn in a 6-8 player game.
