Played out Monster Mayhem card game within a month or so. Bought Castle Panic and was a great fantasy intro board game, simple to learn with just enough strategy to keep it interesting for older folks but it's about run its course.

Looking for suggestions 2-3 can play together mix of youth and adults, ideally collaboratively. Basic-level RPG or strategy fantasy/mystery/adventure, small group of 3 max so not really a "DM" situation type game, all would be players.

TIA

Betrayal at House on the Hill is an interesting and (generally) cooperative board game with a bunch of spinoff versions that are themed differently. The original is haunted house themed, and the game starts pretty easy but grows in complexity as it's played, with a BUNCH of different scenarios/endings available to keep things fresh. The game itself acts as the "DM" and the scenarios are pretty varied. Doubly so if you get the expansion.

This is one of our group's favorites! They also have betrayal at Baldur's Gate which is a D&D flavored take on the game.
