Everyone is John
Poor John has a few issues. John has narcolepsy. John has amnesia. And John has mutliple personalities. Each player takes the form of one of John's many personalities, and vies for control of "The John" in order to achieve it's own whims and ambitions.
One storyteller sets the scene, and judges the John's actions, and leads the tea through the game until one of two things happens: one of the personalities achieves its ultimate ambition, or - sadly - the John dies.

Aye, Dark Overlord!
A great title from Fantasy Flight Games. One player is The Dark Overlord! Might, and all powerful, but with too much to do personally not to leave some details work to his minions - the other players. Unfortunately, as seems to happen to so many overlords, he finds that his minion staff are just a bit incompetent.
As minions the others players have to use the brilliantly ilustrated cards to wheedle, manouvre, and ultimately pass the buck so that their master's ire will fall on someone else. To purchase see site: https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/aye-dark-overlord/ |

Gloom"The world of Gloom is a sad and benighted place. The sky is gray, the tea is cold, and a new tragedy lies around every corner. Debt, disease, heartache, and packs of rabid flesh-eating mice — just when it seems like things can't get any worse, they do. But some say that one's reward in the afterlife is based on the misery endured in life. If so, there may yet be hope — if not in this world, then in the peace that lies beyond.
In the Gloom card game, you assume control of the fate of an eccentric family of misfits and misanthropes. The goal of the game is sad, but simple: you want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death."
