My kid bought us Cartagena for Christmas, after a couple of plays it is pretty interesting. The rules are amazingly simple, but you can quickly pick up some more complicated strategies. Plus the board has a lot of variations so it has high replayability. I like it for the times when you want to knock off a couple of games of something in an hour or so.
As a complete aside, it is a great feeling as a parent that one thing that will always bring the teenagers to the table to hang around with us is a board game of some kind. That, or Smash on the Switch.
