Looking for game suggestions

I recently played Niagara and enjoyed it. Does anyone have any suggestions for games that you can sabotage your opponent or steal from them?

Your request was a real challenge for me!

I know a lot of games, but I had to dig deep to find some "games that you can sabotage your opponent or steal from them". Here is what I found (and I am sure there are more):

https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=thatslife
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=rollandbump
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... twoplayers
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?ga ... emacguffin
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=oasis
https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=troyes

I sorted them roughly by complexity, so Toc is the simplest and Troyes the most complex of this list.

Thanks. I've only played sobek 2p of this list. I didn't think of that game initially but you are right. Caravan also applies even though the amount you can steal is limited. And saboteur I hear is a good sabotage game that I've yet to try.

Yes, Caravan is a good one for this (you can also 'steal' in a way by blocking other's paths so they can't turn in goods as easily).
Caper is one where you can blow up or incinerate the other players equipment.
Colt express
And I just played Eruption for the first time. Lots of player interaction, ruining their walls, turning lava towards them, etc. No stealing exactly but lots of take that and twists and turns.
Crazy Farmers
Arctic scavengers

You can also look at the tags for games that work for you, for instance from crazy farmers I clicked on 'conquest' for a tag and got this list:
