If the the player count was capped at four any other suggestions?

Then two, then three, then a month

Race for the Galaxy, Puerto Rico, Ticket to Ride.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.- Shmugen

I prefer TTR to both of those game, honestly, and I like both of those games. I don't much care for Catan. But as in every case, knowing the people you're playing with makes a big difference. For instance, my family plays a lot of games, but I'd never introduce Ameritrash games to them as they wouldn't really care for them..- Mr. Flay

It's not like there's a single progression tree for experience in games. Catan may be "basic" compared to Puerto Rico, but TTR's gameplay is different from both. If anything it might be more like parts of Risk or Twixt, it's mostly board control with a smattering of random resources.Retired as of October 2014.- diginova

Lords of Waterdeep. It's one of the most fun worker placements I've had.
Also, if you like 7W and Magic, I would highly recommend Seasons.- hitogoroshi

Space Alert (best 4 or 5 player) and Ghost Stories are great co-op. Tigris and Euphrates is a pretty fun 2-4 player.

It's a mechnical mess, but the themeing makes it a fun way to spend an evening. You need to get in to it but it's rewarding.

Plano box, not jewelery. And it's base, two city expansions, Lurker at the Threshold, AND Miskatonic Horror. :3"Don’t buy a dozen eggs if you just want a hardboiled egg.

Space Alert. Those memories *shudder*
It's a fun game, but dying in a fire in space because I forgot to jiggle the mouse to prevent the screensaver...- xRECKONERx

Space Alert is a game that seems really interesting to me. It's just that my game group is the "Think everything through for 20 minutes on each turn" type, and I'm not convinced that snap decisions would be wise.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.- Lady Lambdadelta

I'm not sure if card games are on-topic here, but I really enjoy Fluxx. I bought myself a Cthulhu Fluxx game for Christmas and it's SOOO good.Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.

Not as serious, but any new party game ideas to play at a non-alcoholic New Year's Eve party? Cards Against Humanity will definitely be played, and we got some Walmart-style party board games to play as well. I want to finagle some 1000 Blank White Cards and Mafia in there, but it might be an uphill battle.There will be no kisses tonight

As much as we love mafia, if your group doesn't already play mafia, I'd suggest The Resistance, simply due to the lack of player elimination.jdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
jdodge1019: vermont is made of liberal freaks and cows
