Depends on the number of people. If 3-4, and they like cards, one of the Mystery Rummy games might be good: [link]
Both Jack the Ripper and Murders in the Rue Morgue can play with 4.
Or are you looking for a German-style game?

Hm. Maybe the cooperative Lord of the Rings games? (Even though I've never, ever WON a game? I still think they're fun.)
Not too complex, and being menaced by the One-Eyed Cat of Doom (aka the "Sauron" piece) is hysterical.

2-3 people. They like Settlers of Catan and Cleopatra/Architects.

Jack the Ripper is good for three.
Of course, there's always Bohnanza, but maybe there's too much luck of the draw in that.

I may have to get this game so I know what the fuck you people are talking about.
Dammit, I feel responsible. I *proposed* this thread and I have no clue as to what happens in it.

It's pretty easy to follow, MM. StuntHusband and I are the good guys, and we're struggling to foil the nefarious plans of the evil meatsacks.
Easy enough to understand.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I think one is A/C and one is D/C.
