100%. I had a gaming group and we used to play weekly RoR after work, it was an amazing time. I cannot recommend this enough.

Having the right group of people, with the right temperament is critical to enjoying this game. The backstabs are expected, the only question is how long will a understanding last, rather then will someone betray you.
One of the great parts of this game is even if your not going to win, you can still have a huge influence on the outcome so you are still involved in all the politicking.
