I’m currently in a “my friends who want to have game nights only like to play less strategic games” situation. Not bad like monopoly, though. Things like Quelf, Bad Ass, and Word Around, which are still fun. There are, as others noted, lots of awesome board games out there.
Yet, when we try to change it up from time to time, with new games, most of them don’t work. Or at least, they clearly weren’t play-tested with smart enough players, because the rules break as soon as you apply the tiniest bit of strategy to them.
