We love board games, but now they're teens we can't agree which one. Help me find some new one

We regularly play board games with our three teens (15 - 18) now they're more independent it's been great to have a fun family activity. However recently we just can't agree on what to play so clearly need to buy some new games, but what? Our regulars are, risk, monopoly, taboo, articulate, cranium, pictionary, scrabble, poker, trivia. Between the five of us each game is loved and loathed. Any ideas?

Another vote here for Rummikub - absolutely love it!

Ticket to ride is my favourite.

Go sushi is a quick card game.
Cash and guns is fun - another mainly card based (with plastic guns!).

Also playing between 2 cities recently and very much enjoyed

Some of our favourites:
Different versions of Fluxx (we have Cthulu, Pirate, Oz, Space and I have just picked up the holiday version for this Xmas eve)
Munchkin (so many expansions and versions that you can mix and match so it doesn't become boring)
Talisman (takes forever to play though)
Carcassone
Ticket to Ride
Pandemic
Takenoko
King of Tokyo
Tsuro
Exploding Kittens
Sheriff of Nottingham
Zombie dice

My husband and kids like Settlers of Catan

Go on youtube and look up Wil Weatons tabletop series. LOADS of ideas on there and shows you how to play some of the games too.

Husband has just bought Bears vs Babies, and 12 days of Christmas

There's an Oz fluxx? I have Monty python version and I really want the chemistry version (I home educate my DCs so that counts as an essential purchase right?)

Yes Cagliostro, definitely and essential purchase :)

We bought a load of the 'classic' games this Christmas, Cluedo, Mousetrap, Buckaroo, Trivial Pursuit etc :) We do love a gaming evening :)
