Any suggestions on games which non-strategy gamers would play and which would not bore me to death?
When we have people over we usually have someone bring over some of the various trivia / thinking / drawing type games but I'm fairly "meh" about those (Pictionary, Taboo, Cranium...). I'm not sure it's the type of crowd that will want to sit down and figure out something like Settlers of Catan, though.
Can you think of some good general audience games which aren't too simple and do not necessarily involve trying to draw a funny picture of a pony?
What do you play when you've invited random friends over, not all of whom are strategy gamer geeks?
(I bet they could get into something like Magic: The Gathering -- a fairly group friendly and straightforward game, but collectible card games are too damn expensive.)
