What the whaaaaT? I love Dead of Winter!

I really like Dead of Winter and hope to eventually try the Warring Colonies expansion.
What part do you guys like most about it?

One of my friends loves Dead of Winter but it's not a particular favorite of mine, either. Feels like there's too much going on for how simple a game it really is. Feels like a chore sometimes.
That's how I felt. There's a lot of cool stuff conceptually, but in execution it comes down to digging through decks of cards and dice rolls?

I like Sheriff! But the problem is usually being lucky and getting lots of legal goods is the winning move.

sheriff of nottingham is pretty enjoyable, but i do wonder if i were pickier about bluffing games that its problems (too long for what it is, too dependent on playgroup and metagame as you said) would really kill it for me. there are undoubtedly better bluffing games out there

dead of winter on the other hand never did anything for me. it's not really a great game and relies on its narrative and setting to sell itself, which is good enough for some people! i found it either really formulaic or boring or both.
Yeah, I assume honesty isn't a dominant strategy, if you've got enough repeated plays with the same people to the point where you can reasonably make gambles and not be called immediately. Or if you get into the negotiation aspect. It's just yet to happen for me.
