Board Games for a good games night

DH and I have got very into board games recently after going to a board game cafe with friends. We try to host a bi monthly board game night at home now. Are there any suggestions for really good board games we could start to play? We played a great board game (can't remember what it's called) that focused on a haunted house and exploring different rooms until one of the players turns on everyone else. It was great fun! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Also.. any ideas for nibbles would be great as I can never decide what food to do!

Catan is brilliant. It takes a bit to learn all the rules, Luckily we'd played Junior Catan which really helped 😆 the junior one is actually very good too but prob get bored of it quicker .

@gaydad2b DH and his siblings like board games . So Cluedo ( probably a bit mainstream ) The Sigma File - you may have to get this off the internet as I think it was a 1970s game but they love it ) And DC loved Colditz

As I am not a board game enthusiast - those are my best vicarious recommendations.

As treat we had M&S cheese wrapped in parma ham as nibbles the other day - delicious. No preparation required. Otherwise perhaps some little tiny sausages with olive oil mustard and honey and baked in the oven served with cocktail sticks ( I realise these won't go down well with vegans / vegetarians ) Or humus and breadsticks

All best
