What are the new gateway games? (lemmy.ca)

I got my start with board games with Ticket to Ride and Settlers of Catan, which are still pretty effective. Is there anything from the past five years or so that hit that big and is that approachable?

I remember playing Pandemic a few years back (pre-Covid) and the viruses could be "funny" like Zombies, or the fungus from TLoU, etc.

I am curious to try the recent Clone Wars game based on the Pandemic system, though.

I'll grant, that's a version I could see myself trying
