Terra Mystica is the best one I've played recently.

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.

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