Ticket to Ride and King of Tokyo are similar ish games in that style.I'm sure it was mentioned already in this thread but I finally got into Settlers of Catan. Definitely the best board game I've played in the last few years. I always try and get a group of friends to play at least once a month. Also the expansion pack is very worth it if you're trying to play with 4-6 players!
We've played The Resistance, which from my understanding is similar.Anyone play Ultimate Warewolf?

If you're looking to experience a different side of board gaming, check out Pandemic and then Dead of Winter. It's co-op board gaming where you're facing "the game". Dead of Winter takes it a step further and adds the potential for traitor.
Pandemic and Dead of Winter are very similar, I think Pandemic is a better starting point because it's cheaper and doesn't have as many rules/conditions. Most people I know like the idea of co-op, especially if they have competitive friends. A few people I know hate co-op, so it's a lower risk by starting with Pandemic. That being said, you can't go wrong with either, both of those games get play time in my circle of friends.Appreciate the recommendations! I actually was reading about pandemic the other day. I work in the medical field so obviously that gives extra appeal. Would you recommend dead of winter over pandemic because of the potential for traitor? Also I had already had ticket to ride in my amazon wishlist lol, never heard of king of tokyo so I'll be sure to check that out.

King of Tokyo is a quick hitter, usually takes about 20-30 minutes and is basically all out carnage between players. King of New York is the sequel and they tried to add other objectives to balance, but I prefer KoT.
