Since me and my crew are addicted to all sorts of backstabbing games with hidden roles ([GAMEID=3955Bang], [GAMEID=37111BSG], [GAMEID=4174Lifeboats] etc etc.) I was wondering if anyone could point out any other great hidden role/semi coop games out there. Anything similar would be great

I like elephants. I like how they swing through trees.

The most obvious one is Shadows over Camelot, which is very similar to BSG in some ways (most notably the traitor element, and the semi-cooperative aspect). Also, for something much lighter and shorter, you might want to check out Saboteur.

Shadows Over Camelot is similar for what you are looking for. But in my opinion, BSG stands alone.

For my money, BSG does it best.
But Werewolf and Shadows over Camelot spring to mind.
Of course, check out the avatar. I'm a big fan of Saboteur.
EDIT: AAAHH they beat me to it!

cash n guns when you use the undercover cop variation for a quick game, but battlestar is best.

If you could touch the alien sand and hear the cries of strange birds and watch them wheel in another sky, would that satisfy you?

These are games with backstabbing, but do NOT have designated traitors nor loyalties. In other words, people backstab you for personal gain in the game, not b/c they're officially traitors and it's part of some win condition b/c you have different loyalties. Or to put it another way, there are no teams in these games....
Diplomacy (fully competitive though)
Order Of The Stick (of which THIS is actually a semi/co-op game)

Please navigate to this thread to discuss comparisons between Merlin's Company vs BSG

Sorry, I was thinking similar to BSG.

As everyone else has said, the closest game to BSG is Shadows Over Camelot.
However, I wouldn't suggest it because I think BSG fixed a lot of problems I had with Shadows.

Shadow Hunters is a much shorter game, but it is a quite fun hidden roles game.
