[WSIG] Looking for multiple suggestions. Christmas is coming up! I need ideas.

WSIG

Number of Players: 2-5

Game Length: Doesn't matter if it's shorter, or if it's a longer 2-4 hour game.

Complexity of Game: Some games have a huge learning curve and require a couple of play throughs to really understand. Other games can be taught and explained in two minutes.

Your Budget: Not a big deal. Probably would like most games to be at max 60-70$

Genre: I like highly thematic games. Fantasy, sci-fi, lovecraft, Halloween (werewolves, vampires etc) are all fine with me. As for style, I personally enjoy deception, strategy and those "AH-HAH, MY MASTER PLAN ALL CAME TOGETHER AND NOW YOU'RE SCREWED" moments. But I'm generally open to anything, Not the biggest fan of games that require a ton of luck.

Competitive or Cooperative: Either is fine. I probably prefer competitive though.

Games I Own/Like or Dislike: A bit of a long list, but I own Kemet, DC Deck Builder, Smash Up, Ascension, Tokaido, Terra Mystica, Castle Panic, Love Letter, Fluxx, Bang!, Fairy Tale, Sushi Go, King of Tokyo, Tsuro of the Seas, Sheriff of Nottingham, Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards, Clue: Card Game, Cauldron, Red7, Jaipur. My three favourites are probably Sheriff, KoT, Terra Mystica, Smash Up, Kemet. Some other games I really enjoy are Lords of Water Deep, Game of Thrones Board Game, Bonhanza, Carcassone and Dead of Winter, so I won't be looking for any of those. I really enjoy the deckbuilders, but I find they always just end up with one person snowballing, which is a bit frustrating for me.

Some games I've been interested in are Mysterium (Can't find anywhere in Canada for months), Saboteur, Splendor and Fury of Dracula.

Thanks for the help guys!
