Boomtown is a great bidding style game. Each round you bid for the right to choose a card first. The winning bidder passes money to the right and players choose their best value card from him to the left.
The cards have different values to each player based on what they already have and what they are trying to do and what other players have.
The goal is to have the most money. Each turn you have very interesting decisions to make. Sometimes you want to bluff other players by bidding just high enough that they are still willing to pay for it or other times you'll lay down all your gold to ensure that you get the card you want.
There are elements of Settlers of Catan, poker and Monopoly in this game.
We have played it with an 8 year old and he loves it.
