I don't know if it's "lesser known" but I discovered boardgamearena.com last year and I've been addicted ever since.
It's free, but there is a premium membership that gives some extra perks.
Hundreds of boardgames that you can play with others online, from rummy and checkers to Wingspan and Catan.
They offer casual matchmaking and ranked competitive modes and tournaments.
Set up an account and invite me to your favorite game! I would love to learn it! You can figure out my username on there.
BGA is fantastic. Free game selection is always growing. Membership, if you want to pay for the premium games, is a fantastic deal. Only one person in your playgroup needs a membership for everyone to play. The interface for most games is WAY better than actually playing in person and games are so much faster too. It's not as good as hanging out in person with friends, but it's damn close.
