If you enjoy word games, I'd suggest Paperback which I wrote about a while ago. It also would introduce you to deck building games, which is one of my current favourite mechanics

That seems complicated but sounds fun even Alhambra and Crossfire. I have to check if these are available here in our place. These are not traditional games. I did not realize word games can be this complex.

Most of what I play are modern or euro (or euro-style) games. And I agree that I wasn't quite ready for the way Paperback deals with being a word game, but with good planning of what cards (letters), it can be pretty easy to make words with the random hand of letters you draw from your deck. Better when they're also point scoring combos too :)
