I want to buy a new game for my sisters family, they like middleweight games that come in around 60-90 minutes. They have a fairly extensive collection at this point, but probably don't have anything that came out within the last 18 months. I'm drawing a blank as to the best option is that fits those criteria... anyone have any suggestions? I got them 'seasons' last year and that went over pretty well. They don't like direct aggression type games.

Splendor is probably too short/lite.

I played La Isla at EuroQuest and enjoyed it but it may also be too lite.

Istanbul might fit the bill.

There was a kickstarter called Compounded that I've enjoyed. Don't know if it's readily available at this point.

Acquashphere would totally fit the bill but alas, hasn't even shipped to KS backers yet
What about Castles of Mad King Ludwig?
