You've listed some good ones already, so I don't have a lot of additional recommendations. Really depends a lot on the people coming over, and how much time you have (and the level of patience/non-agressiveness ) of the players. You know you are playing a great game when at some point in the evening there is very heated 'discussions.' And when it comes to teams, well, you can increase that by a factor. And if it's couples..... well, certainly expect a fight or two.

Monopoly gets intense once the houses and hotels show up.

Jungle Speed has been a big and enduring hit at our board-game nights. Lots of fast paced action.

You can actually download all of the cards for free for cards against humanity at their site http://cardsagainsthumanity.com/ . They even give helpful advice as to how to have them printed. While it is a great party game, it does get a little stale after you've seen all of the cards multiple times. At least they keep making expansions for it. I know that King of Tokyo, Takenoko, Discworld, Small World, and Elder Sign are all excellent games. Couple of other games to look into: Mwahahaha Epic Spell Wars Ascension Quarriors Cthulhu Gloom Hacker Chez Geek Red Dragon Inn Give Me the Brain And if you have a whole day to kill... Descent OR Arkham Horror (and if your a masochist, use all the expansions! )

I haven't played it but I like the theme: GODZILLA: KAIJU WORLD WARS will recreate all the action with the kaiju of the famous Toho (licensed) movies. Kaiju will battle kaiju . . .and humans . . . to destroy cities and each other. The game uses a unique Battle Card system to resolve combat. The first game will include Godzilla, Gigan, Rodan and King Ghidorah.
