Ah, I can contribute here. I'm growing a pretty solid collection. The biggest hits in my social circles are fairly common recommendations, though: Ticket to Ride, Pandemic, 7 Wonders, Love Letter, the Resistance, and Splendor, to name a few.

I love Pandemic for co-op, but it doesn't work for everyone and definitely requires the right group because you need to function as a committee to make it work properly. And there's no backstabbing, just bad guesses. Sometimes incompetence can feel like betrayal, I suppose. For bluffing shenanigans, I've been eager to try One Night Ultimate Werewolf, Two Rooms and a Boom, and Sheriff of Nottingham, but we haven't gotten around to them yet. I have them, though. Saboteur is a fun and light hidden role game with a bit of backstabbing. It's not a perfect design, but a lot of my friends seem to really dig it.

Cube Quest has been good, if you like dexterity games. You flick your dice at your opponent's dice to knock them off the board. It's violent. We play in teams. I'd say board games have nearly killed multiplayer videogames for me, but really we've all just gotten married and whatnot and card games are far more accessible. I'm rambling, but I do hope this topic takes off!
