I also don't really enjoy Werewolf (base game) but I like how many of its successors add data for people to strategize and deduce. While you properly mentioned Among Us as one of these, it's a videogame and I'd prefer a boardgame example. I like Battlestar Galactica as one such boardgame that has social deduction elements backed by gameplay mechanics (and incredible theming too!). Sure, you can say you're not a Cylon, but how come you keep on participating in crisis checks that fail? I'm sure you can think of other games like this.

Battlestar Galactica is indeed a great game, but Among Us was a (pandemic assisted) phenomenon.
