One of my faves: Catan.

Monopoly!
Easy to learn/play but also takes awhile so you're committed for awhile.
Product Hunt
Ticket to Ride is so much fun. It's pretty relaxing and really easy to pick up and play.
Munchkin is fun if you like Dungeons and Dragons but don't feel like doing the whole roleplay thing.
Century: Golem edition is always a favorite with friends and family. The gems it comes with are fun to collect and trade during the game and the artwork on the cards is really beautiful.
Not technically a board game, but Magic: The Gathering is incredibly fun and will also consume all of your disposable income if you let it.
Again, not technically a board game, but Dungeons and Dragons is my absolute favorite game of all time and it's not even a close competition. It's incredible, and I highly recommend trying it out at least once.

Lords of Waterdeep and Catan!
Catan!!! So much fun to see how other people think and play, how they collaborate vs compete with one another and how you can win so many different ways!
Marshmallow Icon Kit
Aeon's end -- Coop & Deck building. You can buy it and thanks me later.
Product Hunt
Terraforming Mars!
Helps you train your decision-making and strategy skills. And it's fun!
Breeze

Let's split them by genre, I won't be able to rank them otherwise !
4X : Scythe for it's beautiful alternate reality, complexity and subtle asymmetry & Root for its down right crazy asymmetry
Worker placement : Annachrony for its depth and resource scarcity & Viticulture because why not combine two passions of mine
Programmation : A Game Of Throne (board game) for how crazy my playmates turn when I take 30 minutes planning my next move.
Deck Building : Clank ( In Space ! ) for the number of ways you can harass or kill your fellow thieves without ever touching them.
Card Drafting : Terraforming Mars for the scientific research and oh-so-f**king-many-ways you can try to make that rock inhabitable with all the extensions & 7 Wonders Duel for the nice alternative to standard draft
Narrative Coop : Arkham Horror because the game hates me as much as I love it & Gen-7 for the many narrative mindf**ks
Asymmetric Coop : Keep talking and nobody explodes for the possibility to accommodate one screen-addict gamer.
Roll and Write : Welcome To ! for the fact there is 0 luck involved for a Roll and Write
Story Telling : Gloom for the crazy stories you end up with
Dexterity : Jungle Speed because if you have never broken a TV and a pair of fingers you missed something in life.
Party : Unstable Unicorns for the face your colleagues make when they draw NSFW cards (poke @benjamin_grandfond2 @jonathanbeurel )

@benjamin_grandfond2 it was indeed quite a laugh to play Unstable Unicorns with the NSFW extension at a work event.

If I want some drama β UNO and Monopoly 100%,
If I want some fun β Card Against Humanity
@rachel_levitz yeah I like that there is competition in the game, but not everything evolves it. Everyone playing just wants to have one hell of a laugh!

Why?
- A game without strict rules, you only have to use your imagination.
- It also allows you to get to know the people better and how they are thinking.
What about you?
