Best Games to Play on FaceTime, Zoom, etc.

What games are good to play with friends and family online? I saw someone post Scattergories. I had already thought about Battleship with one other person who owns it as well as Pictionary. 

Any other ideas?

Exploding kittens put out special instructions for Quarantined Kittens on their website.

My kids have been playing scribbl.io with their friends online (while chatting voices only) via zoom/discord. They said it's like pictionary.

We are trying Yahtzee tonight with my dad.

We played Bingo with my mom over Skype yesterday.  We both printed out free bingo cards online, and DH downloaded a bingo caller app on his phone so we could read off the numbers.

We’re going to try Scattergories next week, then Trivial Pursuit Family Edition.  She doesn’t need to read the cards if we play teams.  I have to drop off some Costco stuff at her house this week, so I might leave half of our Guess Who? game to play with the kids.

My son just played Catan, monopoly and stratego with a friend over zoom.  They each had their own game board and would move the pieces accordingly, so each of their boards reflected the moves.  They had a blast for four hours.

Our family plays Quiplash on jackbox.tv. All three households can get on and play together. One person has to broadcast and then everyone else can join. I think it requires and X-box but I am not sure.
