Commas in game names

The commas in the names "Jump, Cat, Jump!" and "Wolf, Sheep and Cabbage" make it confusing!

Suppose someone played the following games:

Ball Sumo
Jump, Cat, Jump!
Wolf, Sheep and Cabbage
Heroic Spiders
Water Jars II

They would say "I played Ball Sumo, Jump, Cat, Jump!, Wolf, Sheep and Cabbage, Heroic Spiders, and Water Jars II."

But that sentence would be interpreted as playing eight different games:

Ball Sumo
Jump
Cat
Jump!
Wolf
Sheep and Cabbage
Heroic Spiders
Water Jars II

In the 128th newsletter ( https://www.novelgames.com/en/newsletters/viewPastIssue.php?volume=128 ), it lists the games "Arithmetic Game, Balls and Boxes, War Ship, Blind Spot, Cat Dog Cat Dog Cat, Clueless Crossword, Coin Weighing, Colour Mixing, Eagle Eye, Fish Ball Strings, Gems Twist, Labeling Game, Letter Blocks, Lever Physics, Lucky Guess, Make 24, Matchsticks, Memory 2, Memory IV, Memory V, Row Swap Puzzle, Tapa, Thanksgiving Dinner, Trick or Treat, Wolf, Sheep and Cabbage, Simon Says, and Easter Egg Designer", which are 27 games, but in the newsletter specifies the count as 28 games, due to "Wolf, Sheep and Cabbage" having a comma in it.
