Let's add Last Night on Earth and Cards Against Humanity.
I would like to offer a dissenting opinion about games to play and recommend some board games and card games.
Cards Against Humanity
Killer Bunnies
Fluxx
Or Stoner Fluxx which I just ordered about 5 minutes ago (No longer being made order while you can)
Or anything by the makers of Fluxx
Scotland yard is fun
And A game I haven't tried but will get soon, Last night on earth
oh this is perfect. An excellent exercise.
$100 to buy games on Amazon with a newbie who has specific needs.
Ok so we're looking to minimize card games, adult players, 2+
Blueprints - $30 - I want a dice game in your library and in my head the first game is King of Tokyo which is an excellent game but I don't know how useful it is for two players. Blueprints is easy to learn fun to play and performs well with two players.
-------
At this point I'm about $5 over maybe a little more because i think i rounded down a few. I might have been able to switch a few things to get more games in but I wanted quality games that minimized or compensated for cards. Plus all of these games play 2 or more pretty wel.

Honorable Mentions:
Jaipur - $35 - For a couple I think one of the best beginner games is Jaipur. It's a two player card game with a welcoming theme that's easy to learn and yet when you play it's as difficult as your opponent makes it. The games aren't long so even when you want to try and experiment with headgames you're not investing too much into it.
Looney Pyramids aka IceDice - $9-15 - Now obviously the one to get is the Ice Dice. It's two "stashes" for $15 vs 1 for $10. Ideally you want three stashes and you can play the most excellent "Space Chess" like game Binary Homeworlds
Bananagrams - $15 - Bananagrams is an excellent party game if you have the tablespace. Honestly this is the singular reason I haven't played my copy yet. It's light it's fluffy, it's fun.
Splendor - $30 - Splendor is an excellent game. Nothing feels good as holding the poker chips in this game. It's a nice strategy game with a dash of tactical planning if you want. You could substitute it for Blueprints and still have excellent picks. Very fun quick game. But it is card heavy.
Word ARound - $15 - Now most people probably haven't heard of this charmer. It's cheap, it's probably best as a party game. I happen to like the look of it but no doubt it'll burn out as you become familiar with the words a bit.

Race for the Galaxy
I happen to love that game. If you're ever stuck may I recommend this awesome video tutorial.
Modern Table Gamer
Also don't forget you can play online at BoardGameArena. Some people might be recommending Roll for the Galaxy the new spin off game. I haven't played it yet but I found the Miami Dice episode about it to be very enlightening. Both Tom and Sam speak highly of the game especially in comparison to the original game.
-------
Ticket to Ride
Excellent game I hear for two players you want the Switzerland/India map
-------
Agricola
I think this might be a bit heavy for new players
-------
Eldrich Horror/Castles of Burgundy
While I have played CoB i don't know it well enough to judge it. I didn't have a great time with my play but it was just one time. I hear lovely things about Eldrich especially compared to Arkham.

i think thats "Last night on earth" Well worth the price! very fun game!
I would second the idea for board game nights. My friends and I love playing board games. Not like Monopoly, but more involved games like:
I'm planning on being there with my new Last Night on Earth game. :)
While there's plenty of zombie movies I like, and videogames I've enjoyed, my best zombie experience was playing Last Night on Earth(you should check it out) with friends.
We would all go to a friends house that was 1 hour away by train, dine together and then clear the table to play 1 or 2 scenarios.
Being any kind of hero in that game is amazing, but the real fun is handling the actual zombies. You can almost taste the fear on the players when your nameless goons start circling them.
Anyways, thanks for the giveaway, have a great day!
Here are some of the games my Movie Night/Board Games group loves:
Last Night on Earth is an awesome zombie-movie style game with lots of different scenarios and its own soundtrack cd. It's a MUST for fans of classic horror movie tropes...it really feels like you're in the midst of a zombie movie and after four or five years of playing it off and on it still hasn't gotten old for me.
Similarly, Betrayal at the House on the Hill is another awesome horror-themed game. In this one, you and your friends explore a haunted house, placing new rooms as you go, so the house is never the same way twice. Then, "the haunt" starts...it's a randomly selected horror movie scenario that all of you must survive...except for one of you, who is assigned the role of traitor and must bring down the others.
If you liked Cards Against Humanity, I recommend Stupiduel as well, though it's a bit hard to find as it is out-of-print.
This neat board game
Good luck out there.
