Do you have go-to games you always propose for a specific player count? I have a bunch of them:

6 Players: Dune
5 Players: Battlestar Galactica
4 Players: Chaos in the Old World
3 Players: March of the Ants

Depends on mood and who the players are, of course, but I have a couple:
2 players: Volt, Neuroshima Hex!, Theseus
3 players: The King is Dead, Nexus Ops
4 players: Guards of Atlantis, Terminator: Genisys
5 players: Nemesis, Wiz-War
6 players: Cosmic Encounter, Dune, Cosmic Frog
7 players: Spartacus

5p: Modern Art

If I have 5 players, I'm suggesting Modern Art

I don't have go-to games for a specific player count, but I have a sharp awareness of games that do have an optimal player count, and BSG (base game) is a great example. I disagree with the conventional wisdom that Dune must be played with 6 players, when it is a still a fine game with 4 or 5 players. Eventually, I would love to try 7- or 8-player Dune with the modern GF9 edition.

Not really, although if we have exactly 4 I'll beg to play Sabotage, and it we have exactly 6 I'll suggest Yacht Race.

Most auction games play better with more players, so if that's the type of game we want but only have three players, I pull out High Society. Although it works with four or five, it really comes into its own with just three -- its unique "losing condition" becomes a much greater consideration. Navigating through the multiple ways in which you can lose is a delightful puzzle.
