It might lean too much towards city builder, but one game I always come back to is Banished. It's older, but you're building a community of people from a group of 4-5 families and seeing how long it can go. I can accidentally spend hours playing this.

Thank you Tonka.

As Flynn deserves!

I just laughed so hard I cried while playing a game with friends. I haven't laughed like that in I don't even know how long.
