Stellaris allows many players if you like those types of games. Only the host needs dlc if you want to pool your cash and buy some. But yeah it can be expensive.

Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
Since you mention Paradox titles, I'd add Crusader Kings III, Europa Universalis IV, and/or Hearts of Iron 4. Same rules apply for those games' DLC, as well.
Towerfall
Boomerang Fu
Hammerwatch
Splitgate
Quake Live / Champions
I'd just like to provide extra emphasis on Towerfall. One of the GOAT local multiplayer games and only gets better with a third, much like Smash Brothers, Power Stone, etc.
OP What games did you guys end up playing or selecting? Also what platform are you playing on?
Somebody dropped a fair bit of cash and got Balders Gate 3 running for everyone. It's been big enough to fill a lot of time, but probably wont solve the problem when we're not all on vacation.
Crawl
I've never tried the game, but I saw a family play Farming Simulator together on a long flight.
Takes a bit of getting used to, but Earth Defense Force 4.1 or 5.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is a 3 man team fighting game.
100% orange juice is quite nice
My friends and I recently discovered Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and the 3 person coop is a lot of fun.
Outriders and Remnant 2. Both solid games and 3p coop.
