I love tabletop games for the social connection they provide. However, between running a non-profit and my own easily-distracted mind, I need games that are social, fun, quick, interactive, and offer plenty of variety. Here's a short list of tabletop games I've found that fit the bill.

Werewolves of Miller's Hollow: 
​Social Deduction Party Game - For 8-18 Players Ages 10+, 30 Minute Playtime.
* While many versions of this game exist, I consistently recommend this one.  Others often feel overproduced or gimmicky.  This game thrives on player interaction.  Skilled players will find this version offers everything they need, while a less experienced group will only find their struggles amplified by additional cards or characters.
