I second this motion. Flashpoint is a good family co-op game for sure.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
It has different levels. You can start out easy and make it harder. The first time we played on easy and we just dashed in the building rescuing people, not bothering to put out the fire, and for some strange reason we lost when the building burned down. I had no idea firefighters were supposed to fight fire!

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Yeah, there are various levels of difficulty to be able to try out depending on how difficult you want it.
Also, there are several expansions to add some new types of buildings to fight fires in that offer some new challenges. It's still the same game mechanically, but the expansions add some nice little tweaks to make it fun.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Pandemic is always worth considering for co-ops too.
As for me, snuck in some unemployment gaming yesterday - three player game of Starcraft. Fun area control game that felt similar to the Game of Thrones board game, but with more resource management and deck building. I played the hive-type race and managed to get a second victory point area in my control and had a lead when we had to call things early. C3G can be played with official Heroscape, but it's not recommended.

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
@japes - you preciously said, "... a Co-OP game to play with the FAMILY."
I'm assuming that these sessions will include more then just the two of you. I would definitely give a +10 recommendation to "Flash Point Fire Rescue" as being Family-Friendly, since it's got a real life theme that everyone can relate to, unless they got a phobia from personal experiences. But would ask you to think about what are HIS interests and the interests of the other potential players ( your spouse, significant other, relatives, friends, neighborhood kids, etc. ). Personally, I love "Shadows Over Camelot" and "Battlestar Galactica" as Co-Ops, because I am familiar with the themes, but think they may be too 'old-fashioned' for a brilliant 7.5 y.o. They are you (the team minus any traitors / cylons) versus the board and random cards. Star Wars is still quite popular right now and will become even more so when the new trilogy of movies are released by Disney. the fairly new Fantasy Flights' "SW: Imperial Assault" is a good one since it is basically a Dungeon Crawl with the characters from the Sci-Fi movies and novels pasted onto it. It's often been compared to and described as a SW version of "Decent." I've also heard great things about "Mice and Mystics," from my friends with young children, which I would expect to appeal to that age. Also Tom Vassel has spoken highly of "Forbidden Island" and "Forbidden Dessert" as good introductory Co-Op games, if you wanted to go the less expensive route.
