Yeah — I know I'm an outlier. As you can probably tell (and would certainly know if you played Resistance/Werewolf/Skull/similar with me) I think around that kind of corner instinctively.
I've been learning a lot about different people's attitudes to spoilers, and how careful or careless people can be, from being around the Pandemic Legacy forums.
For the Usual Suspects to hold up until the end without me suspecting a thing was… remarkable. Almost unprecedented. In the other famous film with that depth of plot twist (link is a spoiler for which film has a twist, obv.) a lot of stuff just wasn't adding up from fairly early on.
My own strategy has been, firstly, to keep pretty quiet about The Usual Suspects, secondly to talk about the Casablanca reference if I talk about it at all, and thirdly to drop it nonchalantly into lists of good films.
