Have you guys discovered the boardgame 'Shadows Over Camelot' yet?
http://www.daysofwonder.com/shadowsovercamelot/en/
It's brilliant, based on the Arthurian legend and very different to virtually all other boardgames out there in that it is a collaborative game - he players against the 'game'. Definately worth checking out if you haven't yet. Really captures the feel of impending doom hanging over Camelot, gradually mounting, with only a slight chance that you can avoid it.
Just finished a game with my children (aged 8 & 10) whom I'm bringing up as two geeky gamers ;D Impressed and surprised that they grasped it very quickly (quicker than I did in fact!)
