I’ve been sucked into Wingspan a lot lately. I also like Carcassone (including the Hunters & Gatherers variant) and Azul.

boardgamearena.com is a great way to try out lots of games.

I love Carcassonne but I've found I like it even better if you add the house rule of having a hand of 3 tiles, which allows a bit more strategy and planning.

I’ve played both ways and while I liked the 3 tile hand initially, I found that I preferred the single tile variant, at least for Hunters and Gatherers,

Incidentally, boardgamearena supports both single-tile and three-tile hands,

Wingspan is probably my #2 behind scythe. Love anything Jamey is involved with.
