I highly recommend Dead of Winter. It's cooperative, but based on the cards people drew at the beginning of the game, there's a chance someone in the group is a traitor (though not guaranteed). Plays out very interestingly.
I'm with you on that one too. Definitely not my thing. But as I learn time and time again wading through the variety of games, there are interests of all types. I won't play em, but I am more than fine with them existing, if that's what someone else is really into. And that goes for most things...
