Board game recommendations

Looking for a good board game for my 10 year old that we can play as a family. We already have Cluedo, Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit family edition, which are winners all round, and also Game of Life which DD likes but we play less often because DH and I find it quite dull.

Don't want anything too complicated, or one that takes ages to set up or play (Monopoly is pushing it!).

My 10 year old loves Monopoly Empire, you get cards where you can steal each others businesses etc which adds an extra element than normal Monopoly and it is normally over a lot quicker (which for me is a bonus) you can buy businesses like Xbox and McDonald's etc which seems to appeal to him.

In no particular order, our favourites are Rummikub, Blokus, Tantrix and Cortex. There's a Cortex kids version too.

Rummikub is a big favourite in our house.

Monolopy Empire looks up DD's street and Rummikub looks good too. Thanks!
