What about Rummikub? Very easy to learn and great family game - always been a staple in my parents house. I like QBitz because it can be solo or group, suits all ages and can get incredibly competitive (in our house anyway). We have the basic set of 4 sets and bought a sepwerate solo set meaning 5 people can play (there was at least 2 colors of solo sets so could expand to 6 players). Forbidden Sky, Codenames, Takenoko, Colt Express, King of Tokyo (although he may be a bit young for it at the moment and it's a little bit more complex), Labyrinth, Catan, Spy Alley, Scotland Yard.
