plenty of games are political, yeah. coup is fortunately short enough (especially with few enough players) that it's not that punishing die.

This isn't a endgame glitch, making sure you aren't the first one to max with 3 left is part of the strategy. You can intentionally slow yourself down by bluffing ambassador. If you're ahead of everyone anyways you have to bluff assassin. (Basically if your in the situation where you have to coup and lose it means you messed up your strategy somewhere else earlier on)

just because a game has a glitch doesn't mean that you can't form strategy around it. i don't think it's good game design, though, since nowhere else in the game does this dynamic occur in this manner.
