Word games / Games about "telling stories":

Concept
Remember When?
Haiclue
Stella
Factum
Illustori

Easy games with a fun theme:

Fluxx
Sushi Go!
Just Desserts
Martian Dice
Coloretto
Piraten Kapern
Flaming Pyramids
Monster Factory

Games with teams where you may consult/bluff/lie:

Not Alone
Saboteur
Werewolves

Coop with discussing strategy:

Pandemic
Solar Storm

I think all of these can be played without talking as well, but are good grounds for a fun/chatty time.

edit: included some other suggestions

Another one of this category: Piraten kapern https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=piratenkapern I found it very funny and conversational.

Same principle here https://boardgamearena.com/gamepanel?game=solarstorm But of course more players know the famous Pandemic ...

Factum is supposed to be a get to know each other game, but I haven't tried it yet.

Flaming Pyramids definitely has humour that encourages chat among certain players.

I and my friends find a lot of humour and conversation material in killing each other in Noir, but YMMV.

And Haiclue can be talky with the right group.
