Nothing will ever beat a good social deduction game. I find that a lot of board games that hard focus on the game part are just not my style. Even Oath has heavy emphasis on the human aspect when it comes to negotiating, making alliances, etc
Lunacy no longer lurks within this world, for it dwells in broad daylight. The weeds of madness and disharmony have wrung themselves so tightly around our roots that it’d take a millennium of deforestation to regain our lost sense.

does mahjong count? I love mahjong riichi, though I can only play online because I don't know anyone who plays it or wants to play it in my city ;_;
A lonely, quiet person has observations and experiences that are at once both more indistinct and more penetrating than those of one more gregarious; his thoughts are weightier, stranger, and never without a tinge of sadness. (...) Loneliness fosters that which is original, daringly and bewilderingly beautiful, poetic. But loneliness also fosters that which is perverse, incongruous, absurd, forbidden.Report message to a moderator

The negotiation aspect is probably what differentiates Oath from other games to me, you aren't just in your own corner doing your own thing the whole time. You get to negotiate with people, not only about the results of the current game, but about the results/setup for the NEXT game, which is really fun. A lot of games fall into the trap of "kingmaking", where you basically imagine 3 players A, B and C. C can no longer win the game because they've fallen so far behind but they have enough power to basically decide who wins between A and B. That's kingmaking, you saw this the other night when we played Red Dragon Inn. Oath has a lot of this BUT because you have goals you can accomplish to put you in a good spot for NEXT game, it makes kingmaking wayyyyyy more interesting than "person C chooses person A to win so person B gets shafted".

ya I'd say mahjong counts for sure. Mahjong is fun, I have gripes with it but it's a chill time with people I know to just sit down and chat for a bit while we basically stim with the tiles on our screen
