One thing that I discovered is that the strategy to play Coup depends a lot on how many players are in the game. With the max number of players (six), it's usually better to play honestly, because when you want to fake a card, the chance that someone has seen this card, thinks the probability that you have it is low and challenges you is high. Also, it seems it's better to play defensively, mostly because this way you see more player actions and it becomes easier to guess the opponent's card. I think some research suggests that humans are terrible at doing "random" actions, so trying to read them is worth it almost every time.
