Gloomhaven is the most board-game-like entry on this whole list, a scenario-based tactical campaign built around class synergy rather than reflexes. It asks for patience. It rewards a group that meets regularly, since the campaign persists between sessions the way a real board game night would. I found the card-based combat system took longer to click than anything else here, easily a full session before everyone stopped double-checking their hand. It stayed out of the top 10 because that structure is more rigid than the other picks, better suited to a standing weekly group than a one-off LAN party. If your group already plays board games together, this translates that habit almost directly to the screen.
