I find a number of Donald X Vaccarino's designs are like Kingdom Builder - they work as games but there's no real tension or excitement.
My favourite game of his (aside from Dominion - which I admire more than like) is Monster Factory - especially as Nina Paley (of Sita Sings The Blues fame) co-designed and illustrated it.
As you liked Forbidden Desert and Pandemic, you may need to know that the designer, Matt Leacock, has a Thunderbirds co-op game on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/modiphius/the-thunderbirds-co-operative-board-game-by-matt-l/description) at present.
