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?

Azul and its variations are the best match for a recent hit that is approachable.

Wingspan would be a recent game that has blown up, but there is a little learning curve.

Though not new, Dixit would be a game that is very approachable and that has been very popular. It is my go-to when gift giving. "The Game" (I know, terrible name) is another older one that people want to get after I introduce them to it.
