Granted the cheapest I can see it is £20.79! But would give a shout for citadels for cheaper larger group games, everyone we have played that with has ended up buying their own copy.
Just grabbed the base game of Star Realms to try and play with some of the students where I work as think they will like it.
We play a lot of tetromino/polyomino tile laying games, but keep coming back to Patchwork. Within budget, and by far the best cost to lifetime-play-time ratio in my collection.
I came to add Exploding Kittens, but then realized you hadn't included Uno! Any reason that classic didn't make the list? I'm not sure the difference between a board game and a card game when you include Sushi Go on this list...
These are fantastic! Found a few we're going to have to try out! One that we got recently is Dungeon Mayhem - a 4 player card game we got for Christmas - and my kids absolutely love. It's an official DnD game where you simply try and knock out everyone and be the last one standing. Hilarious, fast and easy enough my 6 year old loves it too! :)
Kingdomino is so satisfying and has such great push-pull mechanics from turn to turn.
I thought Codewords was fun but my wife despised it and put it into the Goodwill box the very next day.
My partner isn't wild about it either actually. I guess nobody's perfect :)

Amazing, thanks for this! Half the list I already have, which makes me think I should probably now get the OTHER half of the list. :)

Same! It and Splendor juuust missed the cutoff here for being $25. But it is still an excellent pick as an inexpensive gateway game.
Aha, I'm in the UK and my attempt at finding the US$ cost of Patchwork got it wrong!

I personally consider card games to be board games :)
Same way I would call a computer game a video game, I suppose.
A lot of these inclusions are card games, given that they're so inexpensive to produce.

My kids really love dungeon mayhem too! We put the game in time-out quite a bit because they gang up on each other and it leads to arguments, though.
Haha - yeah, it can definitely get quite heated :P
