I highly recommend the Forbidden Island board game. When ever we've played
with friends, it's always been a riot and its a cooperative game, rather
than competitive, but still quite challenging and doesn't take a very long
time like risk and other board games to get through a single game.

There's also a tablet version, if you have one.
