I was doing a mini-research project last month on simultaneous turn implementations across different sorts of games. Frozen synapse being brought up made my neurons buzz. Lots of weird quirks arise out of that style of concurrency that just don't really rear their ugly heads anywhere else.
Key examples we covered were: Frozen synapse/cortex, Spirit Island, Captain Sonar, Pandemic + clones (always what it effectively boils down to, even if not prescribed), 98% of social deduction games, and Dominions 6.
Unrelatedly, communication limitations are something I've only ever seen in one niche game that wasn't even concurrent (Tragedy Looper).

That's really interesting! A great list of games to cover there. Do you have a link to a write up of the project? Would love to have a read
