NYE game night ideas?

[TinkOhio]

We’re having a small get together on NYE and are hoping for some suggestions of games we can play. We’ll be a few middle aged couples, and I have no idea what new card/board games are out there. Can anyone suggest some simple, fun games that won’t take too long to learn, and aren’t super expensive.

Thanks for any help!

My husband's mom's side of the family plays Mexican Train which is a domino game. This isn't super complicated IMO to learn and you can have variations added in (we've been playing a modified game) however it can take several hours to play depending on how quickly each person plays their turn, we typically play with 5 people and on Christmas Eve it took maybe 2 1/2 hours or so to play.

In addition we've played Phase 10 the card game version, maybe not a lengthy game but it can be..

Growing up on my mom's side of the family Farkle was the family game which is similar to Yahtzee and we played with/for money (coins).

There's a couple of variations of Uno we have played such as Uno Attack or Uno Flip.
