Dixit

You give a vague clue about a surreal piece of art in your hand. Everyone else submits a card they think matches your clue and then you all vote. You want some people to guess your card but not everyone. It is heavily reliant on creativity. We usually grab a few drinks before setting this one up. The rules are intuitive enough that you can explain them as you play the first round. It has a good balance of luck and skill, so new players still have a fair chance of winning. The interaction between players is frequent and keeps everyone talking. I appreciate that it does not overstay its welcome and usually wraps up in under two hours. You will probably end up thinking about your next move while others are taking their turns.
