Can anyone recommend a game for boys aged 7, 9 and 12, that won't bore the bejaysus out of any adult forced to play with them?

I'm looking at amazon but I just don't know what to get.
Thanks

Qwirkle - easy to learn for all ages but still challenging for adults, games are fairly short - less than 30 mins, a bit hit in our family

We really like Ticket to Ride, and Articulate (or Articulate Kids)

Camel Up is supposed to be good, but I haven't played it myself.

I have bought Karuba as a family game this year, am hopeful it is going to be good. I did consider getting Escape from Atlantis, which is a reissue of a classic that I thought was great as a child, but thought my youngest wouldn't cope with having their playing pieces eaten by sharks Grin. It is a great game though.

Star wars guess who
Operation
Cluedo
Not sure if they still make the lego board games. They were good
Pictionary
the one where you put a mouth guard thing in your mouth and then say a word and the others have to guess it.

King of Tokyo - dice rolling game where you are a monster trying to take over Tokyo and you can win on points or by killing everybody else - good fun!

Ds8 likes monopoly, heads up, guess who (obviously only two players), a Lego robber game and Uno. I've bought him we detectives for Christmas.

Roll It - it's the same principle as Othello but four colours
Kids trivial pursuit
Lego board games especially Hogwarts
