That's a great list.
My choices
Asymmetric - Love Imperial Assault/Descent II
Public - Like chess the idea is misdirection and traps. Even if you have perfect knowledge you don't know your opponent's mind.
Voluntarily Cooperative - Work together when it works, but co-ops are getting boring.
Simplistic - Not something simple, but mechanics that always work the same, no surprises.
DEEPLY THEMATIC - The more theme the better. I would love Waterdeep if it was meeples instead of cubes.
Deterministic lite - I think that every game needs random elements, but I hate snakes and ladders.
Interaction - Play the other players, play against, play with, overcome the environment. Great list!
