For me, Terraforming Mars. I love the theme. The complexity is just the right amount without being overwhelming. And engine building is fun. There are also tons of different paths to take.

    Oldie but goodie: Ra. Good decisions but doesn’t drag on too long, works at lots of different player skill and seriousness levels. Has worked better than Catan or Carcassonne for me to introduce people to hobby games. Also chanting while someone bangs the Ra meeple never gets old. (I have the early 2000s Uberplay edition with the big blue wood Ra.)
