Some great suggestions here already (HT Wavelength, KTaNE, Love Letter, Codenames, and Mascarade), but Cockroach Poker is one of my favorites. It's extremely simple: 64 cards, 8 sets of 8 different "vermin". Distribute cards as evenly as possible across the group and pick someone to start. First player takes a card from their hand, slides it face-down to another player, and declares that it's a certain critter in the game (E.g. "This is a rat.") The other player can do one of two things:
The first player to get 4 of a kind loses, and everyone else wins. It's always a smash hit when we play, provided you have 4+ people.
Also a big fan of Meow! The cult of cat, which is basically Mao boiled down to just the rules, which change from game to game since the rules are printed on the cards and are only active if they're in play.
