One of my personal favorites is Magic the Gathering. I've never gotten super into the game, and I spent probably less than $50 on it in the last few years. So I'm not exactly crazy about the game. But there's so few games where I have as much fun as I do with MTG. The rules are a little strict and complicated, but when I'm just playing with friends, it can be as flexible as we want it to be. I can play games of MTG with just one of my friends, or we can have a group of 8 people all working against a 9th. It can be a team game, it can be an "everyone for themselves" game. When there are teams, backstabbing and betrayal can be a real thing, and it's really interesting when it does happen.
And also, one time I bought some cards off eBay, and they sent 56 of the same creature (Gruul Nodorog), so I made a deck with all 56 of them and when I started playing the deck as a joke, and then actually won a game, everyone was laughing so hard. It's a pretty fond memory of mine.
