Looks it's like the lowest price on Amazon since December 2017. https://camelcamelcamel.com/AMIGO-ASI5712-Saboteur-Card-Game/product/B013FAC1JO
It's also available from a 3rd-party seller with Prime for the same price. Seller is just launched with no reviews, which I would normally say stay away from, but it looks like it might be the official AMIGO store, since all products it lists are AMIGO games. https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B013FAC1JO/
Plus, the expansion Saboteur 2 and standalone Saboteur Duel game are available for $9.69 each, both sold and shipped by Amazon.

It really depends on group dynamics and individual preferences.
I like games that make me think on my feet. Table top and video game RPGs, Mario Kart, Egyptian War, Magic the Gathering. These all require fast (mental or physical) reflexes and clever tactics. I like playing basketball for similar reasons as well.
My dad used to hate games, but I actually got him to play (and enjoy!) Gloom, Civ 5, and Zelda BotW, and now he likes games. It turns out he likes logic/math-based strategy, slow thinking, peaceful exploration, and independence or small groups.
Three of my favorite games to bring to parties where I don't know people are Saboteur, Code Names (I have the NSFW "after dark" version), and Spyfall. I like these games because they're relatively quick to learn (explain the rules in like five minutes and even if you don't understand newbies tend to catch on after a round or two, even if drunk), quick to set up (again, about five minutes), and have a nice balance of co-op play and competitive elements. Some people don't like the competition of games and like collaborating. Some people like lying and being the secret bad guy or taunting the other team. These games allow those kinds of people to shine.
I have a stack of other games that I'd bring for different occasions/people as well. Scrabble for methodical-thinking word nerds. Hanakimoji for an intimate (and kinda sexy/competitive, you're trying to win the favor of geishas and steal them from each other) two-player game. Betrayal at Baldur's Gate, Coup, and Bang! The Dice Game for a more complex, focused group of people who still want co-op/competitive play for a larger group as above, but maybe are more into games and rules and tolerate setup time.
