Secret Hitler
Five to 10 players. The table elects a government, then has to believe or challenge the explanations it hears about the policies passed. A late power can eliminate a player. The public voting and policy record matter, although the theme and accusatory debate make this a better fit for some groups than others.

Mantis Falls
Two or three players. Work together to get out of a mob-controlled town even when the person helping you might be an assassin. Some games have only witnesses, so treating every questionable decision as a betrayal can cost you a win. Try it when you want real suspicion with one or two friends.
