Hanabi seems interesting.

I would say that Poker with 3-9 players and heterogeneous player quality also contains similar aspects. You can improve the play when you recognize the skill difference, how people play against other players, changes in impulse control, magical thinking etc.

Yes, but actively communicating with some of the other players through agreed conventions would probably count as collusion and be illegal in N-player poker..

I was not talking about collusion.

You get information of how people play just by observing their play completely legally.

Sure, but in Hanabi the point is to be as informative as possible, while in poker it should be the opposite (unless you collude).
