cards against humanity - i don't even rank this as a board game but yes it sucks. apples to apples is better honestly because it doesn't rely on shock value or just plain racism and other forms of punching down

fury of dracula - curious to try but you've enumerated all the reasons i would never buy before trying. a LONG hidden movement game with few clues and massive disadvantages seems rough! that said i do enjoy specter ops - imperfect but has way fewer of the issues you mention with FOD (combat and deduction and game length).

dead of winter - i was very interested in this game when it came out, partially because it was the hotness, and partially because avalon was my favorite game and i was looking for games with similar feel. by the time i actually did play it, i had a lot more board gaming experience, and it felt like it flopped. maybe it's better with more play, but spending half the game digging through a small deck for the right card in a fetchquest was real bad, and yeah, the exposure rolls sucked too. that said maybe your group needs to play a little faster? sounds like you're experiencing 2.5h+ games?

TCGCP - never heard of this. it actually sounds hilarious, but maybe it could use a different method of competition other than slapping - like grabbing the totem in jungle speed, one of the greatest dexterity components of all time lol

eldritch horror - this is another one that i was interested in way back when, but basically every positive thing i've ever read about it comes with a lot of caveat emptors, and i've since lost interest. cthulu-adjacent themes never really seem to do it for me anyway.
