Game Help!

[muchabstracted]

I need your help. I want to buy myself a game for my birthday... but, having gone to the Games Store nearby, I am having trouble figuring out what to get. I don't want a duplicate of the most common ones, ie:

Settlers of Catan (awesome as it is)
Apples to Apples
Scrabble
Boggle
Fluxx

or Royalty or Mystery of the Abbey, as I already own those.

Any suggestions?

Munchkin is great, so that is definitely a fine suggestion, but I also LOVE Quiddler. It's sort of like if you combined Scrabble and Gin Rummy and is so much fun and awesome.

Oooh! I've played that! My parents own it.

Yeah, my parents own it, too, and it's popular with my family. I really really like it.

Actually, for a rec-in-return, you should try Royalty. It's a word game, too, sort of like Quiddler, but with a twist or two.
