You already know 7 Wonders Architects. Cosmos Empires is another light engine builder. If you are looking for interactive games you might try Bang, No thanks, Saboteur or Room 25. If you also like multiplayer solitary games, you could check Welcome to and Can't Stop Express, where all players play at the same time (so no downtime). Very nice communication games (guessing words) are Just One, Concept, Pingimus and Decrypto. If you are not familiar with this genre, try Just One first, because it's much fun with very simple rules!

Language is a source of misunderstanding. (Antoine de Saint-Exupery: The Little Prince) But it is also the source of understanding - it all depends on how you use it.
Not on BGA, but Diplomacy is a 7-player game. When I was a teenager (a long time ago) I walked into a game store and asked for a game our family of 6 could play. Diplomacy is what they sold me. SO inappropriate. But I enjoyed playing it with my friends, even though it led to some of them not speaking to others for a while
For my weekly online gaming group of eight friends, we find Mojo, Solo, Papayoo, No Thanks, Incan Gold, and Welcome To, are very fun. But let's not forget Challengers, albeit with a robot if you play with seven. I would think Coup and Love Letter would work as well.
