Dominion and it's various expansions (if you can only get one, get Intrigue)
7 Wonders
Cards Against Humanity for drunken shenanigans

not really a card game, but Power Grid is my favorite board game.

I can't play a game of CaH anymore- try to be clever and no one gets it- go totally crude and you're bored because the Internet has made your soul a cold dark place already.

The battle star galactica board game is a great time if you have at least four people.  Other than that I really only play settlers of catan.

Co-Op:
Pandemic / Arkham Horror (very similar mechanics)
Forbidden Island / Forbidden Desert
Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (all of the mechanical fun of roleplaying with no need for a GM)
Warhammer Quest

Competitive:
Trains (if you like Dominion, def check this out)
Dominion
Carcassonne
Small World
Ascension started off ok, but too many expansions
Mordheim / Necromunda


CAH is the worst game.  Why not gather your friends and have them shout racist / sexist scatological humor at each other instead?

Have you tried the WarHammer 40k card game Conquest? I am thinking about it.

Wah wah wah, let's all have sticks up our asses. I fully expect you to hate Richard Pryor, Chris Rock, hell even Louis CK too.

You definitely have to play with a smart crowd for it to be enjoyable, I've played with dumb people and that's no fun. Although I guess playing with the PC downer crowd here would be equally if not more awful.

I'm ok with crude humor- I've just been on the internet too long. Enough years at this place for example and CaH is behind the times on shock value.

I haven't unfortunately.  My normal game group (myself included) has gotten some crazy life stuff going on which limits our gaming time together so we will usually play a few of the old standards.  I do most of my boardgaming on my ipad.

Same-ish. I'll probably check it out and follow up.

I've been trying to get Rumbler to buy Felinia so we can channel our inner Fursonas into an Age of Discovery adventure.

We used to play the Zombies! games/expansions and make up our own rules

Zombie Dice + expansions is a great drunk game

I was playing this Italian card game called "Bang" the other day with friends and that was fun...
