I think TICHU has a fervent following among card players. It's a solid game, needs a special deck though.

Keep an eye out for The Crew: Quest For Planet Nine , coming out this year sometime. It's a cooperative truck taking game that looks really neat.

My friend ordered Die Crew from Germany before it sold out and it is absolutely fantastic! Cooperative mission-based trick taking. Everyone is working together (w/very limited communication) to get certain players to win tricks with certain cards in them. Really keeps everyone on their toes. Can't wait to play some more. Definitely grab it when Kosmos releases it in the US.

Back to the topic at hand—one of the best board games for these groups is TICKET TO RIDE, which is basically RUMMY with a board.
If just sticking to cards, think about CASINO too. The rut might not be the equipment, necessarily, it might just be the kinds of games they play. If it's all trick-taking, mix in stuff like CASINO for a new game experience.
Looking at my card games that I would bring to a group like this:
PHASE 10 (snoozer)
TICHU
BOHNANZA (? maybe, kind of annoying to teach)
BANG! (again, can be annoying to teach)
WIZARD
SAN JUAN
LOVE LETTER (!)
TWITCH (rewards youth)
