I own all of these (plus quite a few more), and enjoy playing them regularly. Prices are approximately accurate at places like Target, walmart, Amazon, etc. Most games below can be played by up to 4-6 players (some more), but all support a minimum of two. (An important distinction, as many games require 3 or more players.)

A bit pricier here, but some very interesting gameplay is to be found.
I'm excited to see your post, because I was going to write something similar. In particular, I wanted to link to the five geek social fallacies which is all about why nerdy gamers feel obligated to include socially awkward friends at the table, even when they're disruptive. And then, I wanted to suggest that OP transition this high-anxiety friend over to a different social event, and your suggestion of board games is perfect. Board games do not require role play in which a socially awkward person bungles the social interactions. Here are some of my favorites that seem to work well with socially difficult people:
Good luck OP!
Most of your prices are way too high. They're still used games, you can't sell them at new prices.
Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of Ashardalon
Chronicle of the Godslayer - Storm of Souls -
Rise of Vigil - Immortal Heroes
Munchkin
Munchkin Impossible
Battlestar Galactica
Dungeon Twister
I'm getting tired of this so I'm going to skip ones that are good deals...
Carcassonne: The Catapult
Van Helsing
Zombie Fluxx
Dresden Files
There are a few games that would be good deals, but most of them need to be re-priced. To make it worth people's time to buy from you then you should really price $20 under Amazon (for bigger games) if you want them to pay shipping. Then it'll even out to only $10-ish less than Amazon for them.
Everyone needs a little Munchkin
Gloom
Guillotine
Munchkin
Bohnanza
High Heel Wine Caddy (not a board game)
This is the base Munchkin game. Expansions are sold separately, but they're in numerical order.
And y'know. Cards Against Humanity, or maybe the more PC Apples to Apples...
You both are awesome :)
I first have to say how beautiful you are! And also, thank you for the contest!
Gift One: I love the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and just got Collection One for my birthday so I would just love to get Collection Two to complete the series!
Gift Two: This gift is the game Munchkin by Steve Jackson Games. I've been wanting to play this game for a while now and would really appreciate getting it! :D
Thanks again for being amazing people!
Okay, you asked for it. Please don't read this story if you're a vegetarian.
The first time I was an indentured worker, I was 17 and sometimes worked on a ranch in the deserts of Utah (long story, I won't bore you). The ranch at which I worked was very big; it was home to at least 350 horses, some tame, some wild; 40 or so chickens; 25 buffalo; and around 75 Texas Longhorn Cattle. Our task, this blazing hot, summer Utah day, was to "de-horn" the Texas Longhorn males so that they didn't accidentally wound or kill each other with their giant, sharp horns, when living together in close quarters.
We were told that cutting the horns was similar to clipping the nails of any other animal- it wouldn't hurt unless you reached the hyponychium (also known as the quick of the nail). Though it wouldn't hurt them, we had to shoot a decent amount of a tranquilizer into their hinds because we were pretty much taking a circular saw to the sides of their heads, causing scary vibrations and sound. No one who was with us, aside from the ranch owner, had ever dehorned cattle before.
The cattle were led into a holder/pen by use of a cattle prod (usually the threat of the prod was enough to get them to go where we wanted). After that, we'd give them the sedative, and wait for it to kick in by roping thier head into place and putting a bull ring into their nose to keep their heads steady. We then took the circular saw to their horns and cut them off. Easy right? Not exactly. What we weren't told is that if cut anywhere, even above the quick, the horn would spew blood everywhere-the sprays of blood sometimes reached up to 8 feet away. It wasn't long before we were covered. When the blood was shooting out we had to quickly put flour on our hands, pack it into the capilaries in the horn, and then once the bleeding stopped, cauderize the horn. By the end of the day, we were covered from head to toe in the blood of around 35 steer. Often, when we opened the pen to let them out, they'd just take a few steps and fall asleep, causing us to have to drag them out of the way of the others, some of whom, when sedated, ran around like Hunter S Thompson.
Cool story bro
This card game is awesome!
I am cool with PMing you my address.

I love that board game.

wish list this would make a nice summer. and this would get a lot of use to this summer!
For convenience, quick link to the base set, though I'll leave you to look into details about how to play and such. There are loads of alternate themes/expansions too.
The downside to this game is that you can't play with 2 players, unless you modify the rules. The upside is constant teaming up and betrayal of alliances makes some fun times.
I've played D&D about 15 times in total, if that. It's a great time with the right group. I tried playing with a group here, but it didn't feel right. The play style was really different, different edition than I knew and they went fast and so on.
Zombies.
(edit) And I almost forgot Fluxx and Munchkin.
Get the game Munchkin
It's nearly D&D like.
I feel it's a good starting point to what table top games are like.
Maybe... but what you get in this package is a mystery. You could get one of several base games. I'd say buy this and if you don't get a base game; head over to Amazon where you can get the original base game for under $15

Edit: fixed link
I have never found anyone that didn't like Settlers of Catan. It takes more thinking than your basic Monopoly or Clue game, but is by no means dry or full of intense strategising. It's ultra fun. Carcassone and Munchkin as well. Yes, they look nerdy, but I have many friends from various walks of life (from the jock to the hipster to the nerd) and they all love these games.
For PC games, there's Minecraft and any of the three Borderlands games. You can get Borderlands 1&2 for pretty cheap during Steam sales. There's also Portal 1&2, which are puzzle games with an awesomely horrifying AI leading you along the way.
For tabletop/card games, Fluxx is awesome for the whole family and doesn't take forever. It also has different themed versions like Zombie, Pirate, Space, and Monty Python. Ticket to Ride is a bunch of fun and fairly easy to play. You can get it on Amazon too. My nine year old loves both of these games and she's been playing them for a while, so your six year old shouldn't have a huge problem as long as they have a little help the first time or two. Munchkin is another awesome card game, but can take a while to play. Even so, my daughter dominates at it and has an evil laugh just for when she does something to screw other players over...
If you check out Tabletop they play a lot of games so you can see the gameplay before deciding to buy. Ticket to Ride, Star Fluxx, Munchkin, and Betrayal at House on the Hill are all games we bought after viewing a Tabletop episode.
Pssssst, rainy day exchange people. If your person is really into card games and has Munchkin on their list, it's on sale from $24.99 down to $10.99. This is an awesome game for rainy days, and it rarely ever goes on sale. Just sayin, with such a good deal you can really spoil your person ;)
Munchkins (original). It's more of a 'make fun of' fantasy theme game. But it is a dungeon crawler and super simple to learn.
Betrayal at House on the Hill. Great game and a group favorite of ours.
Yes ma'am

If you like Magic you will probably love Munchkin: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1556344732/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_6xdzybFW44MTP
Munchkin is crazy fun and good to play for groups of friends. It's a roleplaying game where the players and pieces constantly change. It's fun to keep up, you work your brain to try and figure out how to stay ahead, and you can team up to take down higher point players. It's such a great time!

Munchkin. its technically a card game, but not a complicated one like magic the gathering or anything. it has pretty simple rules like a board game. the cards are hilarious, and they come in a bunch of different themes and expansion sets if you like it.. this game is totally a hit a parties, especially for stoners. i cant stress enough how goofy the cards are. the premise is you are like an adventurer going into a dungeon. the cards are various peices of treasure, loot, equipment or abilities. (no complicated rules like dungeons and dragons either) just epic fun.
Lunch Money is another card game along the same lines, sort of. you play as little catholic schoolgirls beating each other up on a playground, and the cards are various moves and combo breakers. great game to get some rediculous shit talking going.
Munchkin!! :D
It's a super fun game, and it's really simple. You just take a card, roll the dice, and if you kill a monster, you move forward one level. First player to level 10 wins!
But your friends can do all sorts of mean things to get ahead and make sure you can't advance, so you might Monopoly-level-hate each other by the end of the game....
Not trying to undermine the pricing, but on Amazon (Link) it's $18.95. That being said, buying from OP, you're at least supporting a fellow gamer.
boardgames/cardgames:
I recommend Gloom, castle panic, Munchkin (though if he's into boardgames and card games he might already have these)
Edit: also smallworld, settlers,
Munchkin!
We have a bunch of boosters and other sets to go with it, too. It's tons of fun!
This set looks really wonderful to me! I'm not an artist, but those reviews could convince even me to give it a try!
I know it isn't relevant to what I linked for you, but I'd love to have this game for my family to play together!

Munchkin is a blast with the right group and sneaks in just under the $20.00 mark.
Also, I know I'm probably in the minority here, but I really enjoy Rune Age. It is underrated IMO due to it's diverse game play. It's a solid co-op, competitive, or solo game.
I haven't actually played it, but Munchkin might be a fun one for a bigger group.
