Board Games Online?

Question

I want to play online board games with my friends, have you used platforms to do this? What do you like about them - can you create private lobbies? What games can you play on them?

My friends and I have been playing board games (Coup, 7 Wonders, Stone Age) on boardgamearena.com. It has a nice interface, and looks like there's a lot of other board games too. But to play these games, one person in the group needs to have a premium account.
