Games for larger groups? (self.boardgames)

It can happen to anyone: a friend of a friend joins for the evening and suddenly Catan is not an option.

What are your goto games in those situations?

My go to would have been Deception: Murder in Hong Kong which I think needs between 6 and 9 players to really shine, but discounting social deduction, I'd look at Captain Sonar. The downside there is the player count is brittle... I do agree with @Zipheir that Bohnanza works well from 4-7. If 6 is acceptable, Point Salad is fine and that means you don't have to sort cards as you use them all.

Really, after 6 people, we break up into two groups. I mean, sometimes we break up at 6...
