Ebay has chinese versions for $10. Find and print the rules in english on line. The cards don't have writing on them and the game is identical to the American version (which I believe is between printings/out of print). I got one myself and it's perfect.
This is a great game. Takes about 45 minutes to an hour and a half, and is very interactive and strategic. Use the variation where you draw your cards immediately upon passing.

I'm looking for something to play this weekend though, for the group of 6. Any other suggestions? Any large group games that are out of the box relatively easy to learn, and addictive?

They're both great. If you ever plan to play with younger children go with pictures imo.

Camel Up - a racing/gambling game that is just silly and fun for everyone.
Avalon or The Resistance - two very similiar games that always play best with 6+ people
Shadows over Camelot - for a deep cooperative strategy game with a possible traitor in the midst
Bang the Dice Game - I really enjoy this one. Quick game but you could easily play it over and over all night.
Between Two Cities - a unique game where everyone is has two "teams", one with the person on your right and another with the person on your left.
Wits and Wagers - an impossible trivia game where it's all about gambling on which answer is closest to the real one
Ethnos - an area control game that plays surprisingly fast
Keyflower - a worker placement strategy game
For Sale - a quick, easy to play card game about buying and selling real estate. I know that makes it sound boring but it's really not.

I really enjoy this game. It moves quickly and is the kind of game you want to play several times in a row.

I'm not a big fan, but a lot of people like it. Codenames (mentioned above) would be a good one. One Night Ultimate Werewolf is also a good party game. Archer: Once You Go Blackmail and Sushi Go! would probably go over pretty well too.

If you've got kids, there's a re-skin for scythe that's pretty awesome. It's called something like My Little Scythe and if I remember correctly has a "boys" and "girls" version.

Tell him we have an entire side board dedicated to it since Rude hates it when we play here.

Just bought this one for my wife. Based on Wizard of Oz made in 1921 first edition almost 100 years old. It is in pretty good shape only one part of one side of the box is damaged. Going to display the board and box. Artwork is great. https://www.rareozbooks.com/Wonderful-game.html

I got this kids castle panic last year and still haven’t played it. Just looks so daunting to set up. Gonna play it over the break though

Watch a video about how to play. They explain them so well. When we get a new game, I will watch a few and learn it, then have the family watch one together before we play. Makes it all so much easier. Castle Panic is actually really simple to learn and get going. Now Clank! on he other hand, while not bad, is a lot more. I am hoping to get my group of dudes to add that to our rotation.

Any of you play Mr. Jack?
Got this for my son and were having a debate on the one of the characters and how to use one of the board pieces.

@Sand - if you are around... or any others since I saw the game mentioned a couple times years ago...
The son and I just played this for the first time tonight and enjoyed it, but were iffy on a couple things (if you remember from 7 years ago or are still around)
- Watson's ability. IF he is by another character is he invisible to the person that his lantern is pointing at? Also, did I see right that the light can go multiple hexes in a row if they are unencumbered from an object, meaning that he could illuminate multiple characters?
- how do you handle the open manholes? We couldn't decide if the rules were saying that you lose a move when entering or not. Ie I am moving 3 spots, am right next to one, is it 1 to the manhole, 1for the next manhole, then one space, or is it 1 for the move to manhole + popping out, then you get 2 more moves? Also I read the rules as you CAN move through the sewers through an open manhole, but you don't HAVE to if you land on one?
Definitely a fun game, and I can see what you mean about it might be a tough one to master as we were thinking aloud and talking about all our mistakes tonight.

The other game I got him for Christmas was Elder Sign, but we haven't tried that one yet.

Anyone jump on Century Spice Road? Just got it for Christmas. Loving it. Simple, and FAST. Don't wait long between turns, so no time to go check your phone in between moves. Keeps everyone involved.

My daughter asked for Ticket to Ride for Christmas since she had played it with friends at college and liked it. We've played it at least once each of the past 4 nights with either 3 or 4 players. Love the game! Easy to learn and every game plays out differently. We'll probably buy ourselves a copy, perhaps one of the other versions (Europe?), when our daughter takes hers back to school after break.
Per a previous recommendation here, we bought Codenames for our son for Christmas. We've played it a few times with 4 people and like it, although I think we all prefer Ticket to Ride a little more. That said, we're taking Codenames to a family Christmas party today where we'll probably play it 4v4, which I suspect will be a lot more fun than just 2v2.

I don't remember on Watson. For the second I the sewer costing one to move through. There is no rule that says you must use the manhole. Gameboardgeek should have those rulings for sure.
Great game.

We picked up Magic Maze this christmas. It may be a bit beneath most here, but its a fun, quick, cooperative game.
Game can play 1-8 (9) players. The task is to get 4 pawns to specific spots on the board to steal an object, and then escape before the time expires. It's a true co-op game, and the hook is there is no communication allowed (with minor exceptions). Every player has a card that allows them to move a pawn in a specific direction. There are no "turns" - any player can move any pawn at any time as long as it is in the direction they have. The "board" is a series of tiles that are built as the game progresses, so no two games would be the same.
There is a separate "Do Something" pawn you are allowed to put in front of someone, and the other "communication" that is allowed is to "intensely stare" at someone.
There are a few spots to add time - but every time you do that, everyone has to switch their move cards - which adds to the confusion as you get used to your new moves.

I still have Pandemic sealed from last year--just can't get my daughters interested to play it.
We play a lot of Exploding Kittens and just picked up the expansion pack Friday.
Just bought Cards Against Humanity--yeah, I know, we will see how this goes. My 19 year old daughter says it is a lot of fun. I am just not sure how my wife is going to feel about it.
