This is a list of games I recommend checking out, I did my best to include a wide range of styles.
Here are the games I've gone into detail about below. They all have links to BGG where you can get more information, as well as a link to purchase them on Amazon. I believe these all satisfy the party-game-ish criteria (with one exception).
These link to my descriptions on this page (unless you are looking at this on an iPhone, then I think this table of contents doesn't actually work)
- Pandemic Legacy (this is the exception)
- Spyfall
- Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective
- Betrayal at House on the Hill
- The Resistance
- Cash 'n Guns
- Love Letter
- Bang! the dice game
I haven't gone into detail on any of these (since you have played them) but here are a list of some of my games that I think you have played before in case you are interested in picking some of them up.
These link straight to amazon
- Colt Express
- Mysterium
- One Night: Ultimate Werewolf

- Survive! Escape from Atlantis

Buy it here for $46.93 (there is a red box and a blue box, there is no difference)
Let's just get this one out of the way up front. It's a 4 player game. It's definitely NOT a party game in the traditional sense, but this is very possibly one of the best games I have ever played. You can play this thing 12-24 times (depending on how good or bad you do). Everything is permanent. The game changes as you play. You will have the time of your life. This format is a bit different than the rest of the list, but that's only because I cannot recommend this game enough.
Pros
- Completely unique
- Really cool story
- Gets better if you can play with the same 4 people every time
- Light enough that my family was able to play
Cons
