My last company had a board game night where they whipped out Settlers of Catan. Everyone raved about it for weeks.

Settlers of Catan really is an awesome game, and the perfect gateway game to get non-geeks encountered with the idea that board games aren't just for kids. But eventually you move on to the really heavy geek games.
Also I have nobody else to play SoC with except my wife and the game is lousy for only two players but you bet your life I'm buying it as soon as my daughter is old enough.

I really want to play this Agricola game. I've heard Yeru say such great things about it!
I really want to play X-Wing, Carcasonne, Dominion, and Shadows Over Camelot. I need to start going to board game meetups. ;A; ... Fortunately, the Barnes & Noble near me has one this Wednesday.
In my experience, I've converted my non-gamer friends to Pandemic and Cards Against Humanity, mostly. I'm not sure how they felt about Catan when we played it high/drunkor how I was able to explain the rules. XD
Catan is the ultimate Euro gateway drug
I still enjoy it but ya gotta have the 5/6 player expansion.
Five is the sweet spot for gaming.. Tons of games are finally for up to five players now which is awesome. Just got the new edition of Pandemic On The Brink last month. Five players seems to make it crazier.
Soon I shall also get In The Lab - not sure how different that'll be.

Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Shadows over Camelot (the card game) is awesome. Also, if your friends enjoyed the co-op feel of Pandemic, you should get Forbidden Island :
And then there is Death
I'd rather just continue playing Pandemic cause they're enough of the same to not wanna bother :s
I saw this randomly at Borders one time. Even though it intrigued me, I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but after watching that episode, I added it to my Amazon wishlist. It's much cheaper than Pandemic, too~
And if Wikipedia is right, Shadows over Camelot will be featured on the next TableTop. :O
Some of us have played an online version of Cards Against Humanity several times. ;o
We're also vulgar, offensive people.
I want them to play Dragon Age again.
EDIT: Without Hardwick.
For quite a good number of games, a way to play online multiplayer is Vassal. I saw it has a Small World module, and I'd be up to run a SW night next week. We can use the chatroom/skype/google hangouts fortrashtalking.
And then there is Death
Loooooove board games. Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly, Alhambra, Scrabble are all up there as my favourites. I also like Game of Life
One of my favourite card games is Wizard though. Not sure if it's available anywhere but here though.
[You spit on mercy? Then you will have none! You want carnage?!]
[Garrosh will get more blood than EVER he bargained for!]
I'd be happy playing literally any board game. I'm willing to try anything.
I love Game of Life and Clue!
Ooooo a Clue night would be fuuuuuuunnnnnn
lulz. We played Clue drunk one night and one of my sister's friends got the guessing thing backwards, she kept guessing the knife in the billiard room and we were like "IT'S NOT THOSE! You have to mark them out!" lol..
EDIT: Board Games | Pogo.com® Free Online Games
I just found that, but it looks like it could be good!
