The first time my family played this, we made the critical error of assigning roles randomly. DON’T ever do this. Pick the person that everyone will love to gang up on to be the Sheriff, at least the first time, because everyone will be gunning for them. You need to be thick skinned and willing to laugh it off, when all the other players are out to get you. Other than that, the game is about the right level of complexity both for families and serious gamers, as the theme encourages some light hearted role play and the mechanics serve the “story” rather than getting in the way.

However, a rules champion is needed to ensure fast game play, so that the game is quick. The main reason being that if (when!) you are eliminated, purely because you are in the way of a neighbours goal, you are out of the action for a while. Making this an entertaining spectator sport is a necessity, unless you use some of the unofficial expansions available that allow dead players to come back as ghosts.
