I generally like party games over complex, rules-heavy or strategy-rich games and I hate time-pressure games. I play games to socialize, not for the games.

So in all honestly, Trivial Pursuit and variations, followed by whatever casual/party-style game is on offer, like Superfight or Cards Against Humanity.

I like the Unlock! series of "Escape Room" style puzzle games: <https://www.spacecowboys.fr/unlock-english>. They're compact and a lot of fun to work together on, but not much replayabality.

For when I want something abstract/traditional, the Royal Game of Ur: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Game_of_Ur> suffices, it's like a dumber backgammon. It's just enough game.
