Just taught my 9-year-old nephew Power Grid, and we played a full game, and he stayed focused enough to beat both his grandparents (although I powered 18 cities, so he didn't win his first time).

I was apprehensive and wanted to start him on Carcassonne or Settlers, but he insisted on Power Grid, and it worked out well. Now he wants to try to get another game in tonight.

I recommend 7 Wonders and Betrayal at the House on the Hill! Those are favorites in our house right now, and Eli (just turned 9yo) asked for them for his birthday.

7 Wonders and Betrayal? They seem kinda... lightweight... for the Power Grid crowd. :-)

Jumping in at the deep end, eh?
