What is the best board/card game to get two singleton talking?

I want to set up my best friend and my husband's best friend but they're both very shy and reserved people. I don't want to force anything but I'd like to get them talking. I was thinking we could have a BBQ with a couple of other friends and we'd play some board/card games and I'd team them up so they have to interact together. We're all 36-38 years old. Anyone have any ideas of games?
