As I mentioned above, it was a big hit with my brother's family and they want me to find some other "fun" games for them. They have played out the old usual standard boardgames like Monolpoly, Trivia Pursuit, Clue, Outburst, Uno, Phase 10, Miles Borne, etc, and are looking for unfamiliar alternatives like Kill Dr. Lucky.
I was actually thinking of trying this game below, but was a little worried that it might be a little too "dark" for the younger family members...
Anyways,thought I would ask the gaming Gurus if they had any fun alternative Board/Card games suggestions. What do you guys recommend and preferably why?

I used to work as the assistant manager at a board game store, and probably have 30 board games that i picked up while working there.
The game i pull out the most to play with people who I'm not sure like 'hardcore' games is Ticket To Ride (can be taught easily, tons of different strategies and fun, and easy to play with anyone who can play monopoly or clue).
Settlers of Catan is great fun, once everyone gets into it...everyone even remotly into board games should really own this.
Apples to Apples is a good game to play with non-gamers...not what I'd roll out on Family Game night, though.
A less dark alternative to Lunch Money that I have a ton of fun with is a card game called Kung Fu Fighting!

It's a blast with 2 to 6 people, and it's still only $20. I used to sell a ton of them.
