Have you tried Dixit? It is beautifully made game with very simple rules that lead to a very complex game play. Dixit is the only game that I know in which I think a computer would not be able to beat humans unless it is able to pass the Turing test.

There are tons of games in this "give a careful clue" category, if this is something you enjoy—I really like Codenames, Spyfall, and Deception: Murder in Hong Kong. The great thing is the learning curve for all of these games is virtually non-existent and they play fairly quickly, but it takes several playthroughs to get really good at them, and they are highly dependent on who you play with, so there is plenty of replay value.

Mysterium is another missing from your list. It's easily described as "Dixit but Clue".
