Hi Jackie,
Thanks for your interesting question.  Since there are literally thousands of games to choose from, I wish I could talk on the phone with you to discuss various details about your questions so as to be more helpful in answering your questions, but a phone call would be very expensive betwen Egypt and the United States.  Just a few of the things that could be helpful in answering your questions might be: what are the ages of the players, how long you would like to play the games, what would you define as joy and intelligence in a game and so many other things.  For example, when it comes to joy and imagination, some persons enjoy games that involve dexterity with their hands, while others enjoy trivia games concerning knowledge, still others enjoy games involving drawing with pictures and sculpting and still others might even find fun with using words in a game.  You could check the website: www.donsgamecloset.com which has over 100 categories of fun games to choose from.  Also on that website you could look up Scrabble, Curses and the Game of Life to get a description of each game and form your own opinion as to what you might enjoy.  The Boardgamegeek.com is another website with lots of detailed information about games the games you mentioned and thousands of other games as well.  I hope this information is helpful.  If not, feel free to send me another email.  
Best regards,
Don
