I might recommend Dominion as a great "starter" game that is a totally different feel from Catan but still has the "different every time" setup. Very quick to set up; it's just cards. No teamwork though, but lots of strategy that will change each game.
For a teamwork game, one classic is Pandemic, although once you win the game the first time the novelty wears off
Something with teamwork and betrayal I would recommend is Dead of Winter. But I'll be honest betrayal as a mechanic usually doesn't work for me in general, so I don't play with those rules when there is an option.
Ah, I think I played dominion years ago and liked it, but forgot the name of it. Thanks, I'll check it out.
