It's a card game rather than a board game (but still within the tabletop sphere so I think it still fits): I absolutely love Sentinels of the Multiverse. It's by the same people who made Spirit Island, which I believe is more well-known. It's a cooperative game where you play as superheroes working together to take down a villain. Aside from the game itself being a lot of fun, there's a bunch of hidden story and lore within the card art, and the creators even have a podcast where they create stories and characters within the game's world.
I love Sentinels of the Multiverse. Every player picks a different superhero with its own unique deck and powers, the villain is a separate deck, and there is an environment that adds a bit of chaos and having so many individual components you can swap out makes for a very high replayability. I love cooperative games, too, and this being cooperative is nice if you want to include someone who is less experienced in games because nobody is going to be out to exploit them. I've never been much of a superheroes fan, but the game plays so well. That's one that has gotten played over and over in my house for many years at this point. It's also available on Steam if you want to play with someone remotely, but I do prefer playing the physical version when possible.
