Saboteur! It's a card game where you use cards to build a mine to find treasure. The catch is that some of the players are working against the others but you don't know who. It's cheap, quick to learn, easy to carry, and a ton of fun with a lot of people (up to 12 if you have the expansion).

Edit: BGG has a great description:

In Saboteur, each player takes on the role of a gold-digging dwarf or a saboteur who wants to hinder exploration of the gold mines — but each player knows only his own role, so the digging may or may not go as planned!

Each turn, a player either lays down a tunnel card to dig from the start card toward one of the goal cards (or potentially away, if a saboteur) or plays an action card to help or hinder someone. If the diggers manage to find the gold hidden under one of the goal cards, then the diggers share the loot found there; if the gold can't be reached before the deck runs out, the saboteurs profit instead. After three rounds, the player with the most gold wins.

Is there a v/boardgames yet? I enjoyed it at the other place...

I don't think Settlers would classify has unknown anymore. My measuring stick would have to be it's availability at big box retail stores (Target, Wal-Mart). My friends and I play Splendor, Betrayal at House on the Hill, and Forbidden Desert a lot. One of my favorite older classic boardgames is Sequence that a lot of people seem to have never heard of. When the nerd stars align we bust out Twilight Imperium 3 and bbq and play all day. It's only happened a couple times but it is so great when it does.

/v/boardgames usually has some great recommendations for newer and less-traditional tabletop games.

Confusion is a good 2 player chess-like game where you don't know what your pieces are. Also Scotland Yard.

I personally like "War on Terror" by Terrorbull Games. I feel like the small game studio needs more recognition for their works, but can understand how people may be turned off of their use of political satire as a basis for games.
