I don't get as much time these days, because we mostly play D&D or other role-playing games, but my RPG group, which is just my family and in-laws, is also my board game group. My spouse and I also play a lot of two-player games.
Games that we played a decent amount of include Viticulture, Concordia, Jaipur, Ticket to Ride, Seven Wonders, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Spirit Island, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Coup, The Resistance and Takenoko.
EDIT: if you're looking for a group, and your family is not inclined, it occurs to me that hearing "oh I just play with my wife, my sister and her husband" I'd unhelpful.
I haven't done much of this, but I do recall that a local game store that I used to go to had a regular board game meetups that were open to the public. If you have a local game store that stocks boardgames and has tables/play space I'd check with the owner/staff and see if they have a weekly or monthly meetup. Probably so if they don't have a hopping magic the gathering scene and still have the tables, somebody's using them or they wouldn't have them up.
Yeah we have a local game store that does this sort of thing too. I don't personally avail myself of it because I have other social things I do that connect me to people but it's a nice resource to have I imagine.
