There is a game called Betrayal at House on the Hill, fantastic game.
Also, EVE Conquest and Vampire: Prince of the City are good games for backstabbing each other.
Flux is a good card game that takes no time to learn and has interesting results. Add alcohol for more fun.
Ticket to Ride is decent, but after one or two playthroughs it gets a bit old in my opinion.
Fury of Dracula is fun, but takes 5 players and one player is against everyone.
Camalot is also good, and has the potential for backstabbery.
I'll have to check out that Betrayal at House on the Hill game, sounds interesting. I've seen Ticket to Ride in many stores and have heard good things about it...what is the point of the game?
Betrayal is fantastic. Everyone plays, and at some point during the game, a traitor is reveals (who it is depends on how it reveals. There is a book in the game that explains it). Once that happens, it is everyone against that person and the betrayer usually gains special rules and abilities.
For example, one game the house comes alive and tries to eat the players.
As for Ticket to Ride. You have to basically connect points across europe with rail lines and fullfil objectives based on cards you get at the start of the game. Once the game ends, you just tally up victory points. It is a fun and highly strategic game, but a bit slow for my tastes with the other games my group has as options.
There is one game out I can't remember (I think it was Shogun) that allows you to trade family members for military support, but you can trade other peoples family members and execute your enemy's mother if you play your cards right
That game is fun too.
