Games for nephews
Lots of good suggestions-thanks everyone
I've just phoned my brother in law to find out the likely number playing a normal game and that's affected the final choice.
I think the best ones to come out were:
Totemo - (but loses out against the others because of price)
Carcasonne - will probably get this as it works well with 2-3 players
Braggart - which is a simple game with a bit of fun, but works best with more people than they usually play with
Flash Point - which I would recommend to others looking for a co-operative game. (It looks a little similar to the game I got them for the last birthday, otherwise this would have been my first choice) The players have to work as a team to rescue people from a burning building. See here for video review.
Boardgamegeek is very useful for finding the best number of players for a game.
It's going to be Carcassonne or Flash Point, but probably Carcasonne.

Braggart is also fun, I introduced my nephews to it last Xmas and we had great fun hamming it up with declarations of "You, Sir, are a Liar! For I happen to know that you did not, in fact, win a battle against the Gladiator Champion of a nearby Kingdom, but merely an unfortunate trout!" :-)
Although I rather like cooperative games (eg Lord of the Rings, Pandemic etc) Flashpoint annoys me because you've just rescued someone from a room in a burning building and then *someone else* turns up in exactly the same location! Where did they come from? Why didn't you see them when you were rescuing the last person? Grrr!!!
