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 :wink: ) of the players. You know you are playing a great game when at some point in the evening there is very heated 'discussions.' :lol: 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. :mrgreen:

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

Post Re: Boardgames
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! :twisted: )

I saw this on BoardGameGeek website. 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.
