If you like family boardgames, check out Ticket to Ride. It is a lot of fun for both kids and adults. It has won quite a few gaming awards. I did not think I would like it, but I have enjoyed it quite a bit. My 6 and 8 year old boys like to play it. It is good to see them thinking about routes and cards and how they can achieve certain goals. Yet it is easy enough for them to do largely on their own (the 6 year old needs pointers during the game, but he largely makes his own decisions). You won't find it at your local toy store or Walmart but you can get it for about $25 at places like here and here. The rules are very easy to learn.
