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.
