Wavelength
A great first pick when you want something that feels like conversation rather than “a board game”.

Just One
Probably the safest recommendation for groups that say they “don’t like games”.

So Clover!
Good when you want something a bit more thinky without scaring people off.

Codenames
Use with word-comfortable groups; avoid if people are anxious about “being smart enough”.

Deception: Murder in Hong Kong
Great experience, but only for non-gamers who are okay with bluffing and accusations.

Long Shot: The Dice Game
Nice bridge between pure party games and something a little more gamey.
