Recommend board games

So I bought "Last Word" for Christmas for the family, and turns out it pretty much sucks. After reading about it online, other people were having the same problems were were with it. Our family likes to play them every once in a while, and the group is scattered (teen to grandparents), so something everyone could play.

Played and liked games such as Balderdash, Apples to Apples, Phase 10, etc.

Yeah, we play Rummy, Uno, Phase 10, Skip-Bo, stuff like that all the time, so I'm trying to get some newer games. Apples to Apples can be really fun.

Apples to Apples for clean family fun.
Scruples for a good time with booze and ladies

Pictionary or Taboo are also pretty good.
