We do play Cribbage quite a bit, but sometimes it's nice to have something a bit more engaging and abstract. We have been looking at a lot of co-op games.

Euchre!!! I need 2 1/2 more players. My wife kinda knows it. But it's such a weird Indiana/Oregon regional game that few play it.
At any rate...I came on here to point out that a really fun and easy game, Suspend, is on sale as a Black Friday week deal today on Amazon. It's great if you're playing a game where a couple people get eliminated and have to wait on others to finish. It's kinda like Jenga with wires. It's almost half price under the Melissa and Doug toys.
Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
We picked up "Skull" a couple days ago. Fantastic little game. Only takes 5 or so minutes to play, has almost no setup, and the artwork is very eye-catching.
Then one of the guys at work gave me "Secret Hitler". Looks like a pretty fun party game. I just need to get some people together to try it out.

Not very cerebral, but we always have a blast playing Liar's Dice.

If you pick up the 1910 expansion, it replaces all of the cards with standard sized versions. It’s definitely worth it if you play more than a couple times.

We picked up House of Danger, which is based of the choose your own adventure books from the 70’s. I’m excited to try it out when I have a couple hours to myself.
Lovecraft Letter - It’s a remodel of the Loveletter game with a Cthulhu theme. It’s extremely well made, fast to play, and the whole family loves it.
Civilization: A New Dawn - a scaled down version of the Civ games. @MrsWylaff thought it looked like fun, so we’re going to give it a go.
Mysterium - A bunch of psychics are trying to solve a murder. One player is a ghost who can only communicate with them in dreams (cards with abstracted art on them). We’re all looking forward to that one.
Jurassic Park Danger! - This was “Santa’s” gift to the family. Everyone plays the original characters from the movie, and they have to reactivate the park and get to the choppa. One player controls all of the dinos that are trying to eat them. I think I’m more excited than the rest for this one.

mostly the wife and i play cards sitting out on the back patio, Usually we play Kings in the corner. Occasionally we play UNO till someone gets mad.. we have on rare occasions played Munchkin with the kids
I got 3 expansions for Superfight for Christmas, but I have to have the right group to play it with or it's not so great. But I'm looking forward to the 80s and 90s expansions in particular, along with The Hero Machine expansion, which kind of seems to operate like a free reset once a game. I like to argue and so do my kids, but my wife can't stand the game. Maybe at New Years.
My son got Tides of Time a little before Christmas, but we just now played it. It's a super simplified 2-player only version of 7 Wonders. You have a deck of cards and are building a city for points over the course of 3 rounds. It wasn't the most fun game, but would be good if you have a big multi-player game with lots of time between turns and a couple of you want a side-game going. Otherwise, I don't honestly see it getting played all that much. But it's small and portable without a ton of bits and pieces to get lost so it would travel well.

I got hive for Christmas. This game looks like it has some friendship altering potential
That's one of my favorite quick games. I love how compact everything is, and the fact that it's waterproof and board-less makes it great for pubs and hangouts as well. It's like if dominoes and chess had a baby.

It'll be fine once the swelling goes down.
