Settlers of Catan... not sure how known or unknown that is.

I came here just to say this! In fact, we should get a subverse started for it if there isn't yet one

Well I've never heard of it.

Buy it, get addicted, and destroy friendships! It's a MUST!

Carcassonne might qualify as a popular game, but still a very good game that not everybody has tried. Works for all ages to, and can be learnt while playing.

Is it as complicated as D&D?

Battlesheep! And easy to learn and quick game that's fun to play with friends.
Wiz-War! You're a wizard battling your friends for dominance.
Cosmic Encounter! Probably my favorite of the bunch. You and your friends are competing alien races trying to colonize as many planets in your galaxy as possible, and races have unique special powers to help with this. My favorite part is you can form alliances with other people to help with space battles. Alliance rewards don't have to be limited to 'in-game' things either, so you can ask your friends for money, food,
sexual favors...Smallworld! Similar premise to Cosmic Encounter but with fantasy races trying to control territories. There is no alliance forming but you're also not limited to one race the entire game.
If you're ok with tabletop RPGs instead of just board games I have some suggestions for those too.

Attack On Tokyo one of my favourites, easy to learn and play and a ton of fun!

I think that's a great family game. The expansion really improves the gameplay too.

100%, with that expansion its a totally different game

Empire builder and those of it's ilk. basically building trains around various parts of the world (America, Europe, China, Russia/USSR, etc.) and other worlds (Colonized mars, Colonized moon) Really good game play for those interested in strategy
