Odd that Tom likes Fantasy Business but generally does not like semi-coop. They both have a similar premise, require cooperation and backstabbery, and you win by lying/manipulating. Both can fall apart if people do not really play it right and choose to just bomb the game instead. Also, Vabanque was recently Kickstarted for a new edition and failed funding.

Interesting list -- but perhaps the cutoff should have been higher than BGG 3,000? How many times did Tom or someone else say, "That is a horrible game" -- meaning that perhaps these games aren't unsung, which implies a gem missed somehow, but simply bad (or at best mediocre) games.
