Yeah I remember playing this back in high school. It can be pretty fun depending on how creative the players are. The host makes a big difference. It sucks for the people that get knocked out of the game first. They can only standby and watch.
If the host is good, they can throw curveballs and make up new roles for people and stuff. I do feel like I’m too old for this though. I’ve seen Chinese students playing this at McDonald’s late at night.
