Ours love Coppit. Not a board game, but Exploding Kittens is very popular with my DC too.

Ticket to ride. We're buying the German version this year. Already have the original north America, Europe, UK/Pennsylvania expansion and Rails & Sails edition.

They've just made a 6+ version for kids, just need DD to grow a few years!

I realise I sound mighty nerdy and a bit sad at this point but it really is a good game! 😂

Yy to Ticket To Ride and Exploding Kittens.

I'll add Carcassonne and 221B Baker Street.

My kids love these and poker. Grin

Settlers of Catan, quite hard to learn but easy and very rewarding when picked up Wink

Carcasonne is a fantastic game that our whole family plays. Labrinth is great as well. If you want to try a card game Flux is really funny too and portable.

Forgot Camel Up! How could I?

My votes would be for carcassonne and then labyrinth too. The traders addition to carcassonne is great once you have the Base game too.

Camel Up.
Exploding Kittens.
Ticket to Ride.
Also, Racing Demon is enormous fun and very noisy (but cards rather than board).

Thanks all so much! Some great ideas here for games I'd never heard of. The more traditional ones we already have. I've made a note of them all we have birthdays and Xmas coming up so should be able to get a good selection
