Dixit
A few games I like that would probably fit the bill:
Spot It. Super fun game, easy to learn and quick to play. Not the deepest game but it's lots of fun for all ages and a nice quick game to play when you want something short or as a break between longer games. Good for any number of players.
Dixit. A storytelling game. Each turn one of you is the "storyteller" and tells a short story (one word to a sentence) about it. Everyone else picks a card from their hand that they think fits the story. The cards are mixed up and everyone guesses which one the Storyteller had. The interesting scoring mechanic is the storyteller only gets points if some people don't guess right. If everyone or no one guesses right, the storyteller gets no points and everyone else gets points. Plus, if it's not your turn but someone votes for your card, you get points. The cards can be somewhat crazy and surreal but are definitely safe for a 9 year old. The game is a fun casual game.
Ticket to Ride. Fun game where you lay out train routes. You can block people's routes and you will be angry at whoever does that to you. Only takes 5 people though.
Tsuro. Another somewhat shorter game. You take turns laying tiles and moving your Dragon along the path they create trying to stay on the board. Near the end of the game it gets hectic and you might end up knocking each other off.
TransAmerica. A train game like Ticket to Ride but faster and a little less complex. Rounds go quickly and it has an interesting scoring mechanic. Each round you lose points if you don't connect to your cities and the game ends when someone is at zero. The winner is whoever lost the least points.
7 Wonders. A fun game that involves playing cards that you draw from a hand you pass around. Takes up to 7 people but might be slightly too complex for the 9 year old.
Shadow Hunters. A hidden roles game where you will be on teams but you won't know who's on your team. Throughout the game you try to figure that out and it can get very competitive. Again might be slightly too complex for the 9 year old but maybe not.
Castle Panic. This game is slightly different because it is a cooperative game. All of you play against the game itself to try and defend your castle and defeat all the monsters. It's a pretty fun game.
There are a ton of other good games but I'll stop for now since I've probably listed too many as it is. Two things I'd recommend to try to find new games that your family might like beyond these. First, see if there's a board game store near you. A lot of them will have board game libraries where you can go in and try out the games at no charge. Most (in my experience) are pretty friendly to newer players. Second, check out TableTop. It's a show hosted by Wil Wheaton where he explains games and then plays through them. My wife and I used it as a good way to see new games that we might be interested in without having to buy them sight unseen, since boardgames can be expensive. The demo part of the show has sold us on a bunch of games (several of which are listed above). Hope this helps and enjoy the family game nights.
Yeah, I'll come forward. That was me. I'm unsubscribing from this sub because it's just referral link spam. Yes, I see that juggernaut posted that he/she would post links to Amazon when they drop below CSI's price... but these are completely typical prices. I joined this sub to find special deals. Not just beef up someone's wallet by seeing a ton of links to prices that right in line with what they typically sell at on Amazon.
Here are some examples:
I don't see a single Amazon link from Juggernaut that is more than $5 off the average price and most are within a dollar, and sometimes even more expensive than average.
If you all want to subscribe to this sub and pad juggernaut's wallet, be my guest. I'm unsubscribing.
For those who are not sure they are into games:
I have NEVER had someone who claims to "hate boardgames" find they disliked these games. Excellent for both adults and elementary school kids. These are my go-to games to rope people into board games. Have not had a failure yet.
If you want heavier, say the word. These are all light-midweight games. Takenoko and Sushi Go have the most staying power. Don't miss out on Coconuts. Seriously.
We have that version... and it's original Dixit but the International Rules edition.
The box looks almost exactly like what I guess is standard Dixit, but the board is definitely one where part of the box is what you travel around.
And y'know. Cards Against Humanity, or maybe the more PC Apples to Apples...
Do your guests already like board games? I love them but in my experience getting people to learn new rules is like pulling teeth, especially when it's out of a rule book. Unless your guests are well-seeded with experienced/enthusiastic gamers who are willing to teach the rules, I'd stick with games that people probably know or have rules for kids. Scrabble, Monopoly, checkers/chess/go, Chutes and Ladders, Sorry, Candyland and decks of cards (perhaps with chips). I would also consider party games like Balderdash, Taboo, Cranium, Charades, Fishbowl, Telephone Pictionary which are really fun in groups. Maybe you could designate a charismatic friend as a "Master of Games" or something to form groups and get the ball rolling on the pen-and-paper games.
If you have a geekier group that likes more modern/European board games, there are a few games I think are totally worth a try. I'd look into: Red Dragon Inn (my FH says it might be too complicated but I think it's approachable), Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, Dixit (I haven't played this but my FH says it's like Apples to Apples with pictures), Castle Panic and Fluxx in all its many varieties. Settlers of Catan is a bit more complicated but people are more likely to be familiar with it. It might not be great for newbies but I can't pass up the opportunity to plug Pandemic which is a fantastic cooperative game.
I'm gonna guess high and go $52.50.

Thank you for the contest!
Fun, thanks for hosting the scavenger hunt!
Edit: Finished! I love scavenger hunts; it always reminds me what a weirdo I am.
Some of the more popular choices on this thread are listed below for you.
Ticket to Ride
King of Tokyo
Forbiden Desert and Forbidden Island
Takenoko
Dixit
Apples to Apples, Dixit, Jungle Speed, Pictionary, Anomia, SET, Loaded Questions, and Jenga are a few that come to mind where the adults wouldn't necessarily have an advantage over the kids. Also Fluxx and We Didn't Playtest This are both hilarious card games that would be perfect for kids in that age range, but I have a blast playing them with other adults on a regular basis too; Spaceteam looks like another good one but I haven't personally played it. If you're looking for more involved strategy games, Ticket to Ride and Carcassone would be fine for that age, just require more of a learning curve. Cranium and Quelf are silly games that involve a variety of tasks (drawing, acting, singing, trivia, etc) and although they're supposedly aimed at adults, kids love them too (just skip cards that are too hard; or you could also consider the kids' versions of both games, Cranium Cadoo and Quelf Jr.). Uno (or Crazy Eights with a regular deck of cards) is always a classic, and you can always play charades or the category game!
edited to add: not sure about a good choose your own adventure story, but Mad Libs are always fun!
And this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. Although the prices are outrageous at Amazon CA, you'd be much better off buying from a US retailer and shipping internationally.
this game Dixit is my cheapest item. ( I know, not very cheap lol) And Civilization is something else that I'd really want!
I am trying to decide between purchasing Dixit ($21.23 on Amazon at link below) and Chameleon ($23.96 at link below). I have played Chameleon and loved it, but haven't gotten to try Dixit yet. Our gaming group is usually 5-7 people.

I don't have any of the listed games you want for trade, but I do have Dixit.
It's a great family game but didnt gain any momentum in my group. BGG page. We have only played it twice, it's in mint condition.
Would you be open to a 1:1 for Pandemic Iberia?
WOWOWOW thank you so much for hosting this contest! This is getting me pumped. I literally just started working out at home yesterday, and while I'm beat right now, I really enjoyed it! =D Made me realize how little supplies I have at home though, haha.
Here's what I'd do if I had to rebuild a collection from scratch for $1k trying to have a wide variety of play styles:

Agricola $45.79
Battlestar Galactica $39.97
Carcassonne $30.02
Carcassonne Inns & Cathedrals$15.71
Dixit $22.65
Dominion Big Box $69.18 Prosperity is one of the best expansions; Alchemy is not, but you're pretty much getting it for free in this set.
Eclipse $61.49 It wouldn't be a board game library without a 4X game, and I think Eclipse is the best currently.
Eldritch Horror $40.47 - I love Arkham Horror, but Eldritch streamlines a lot of the fiddly rules of the original.

Twilight Struggle $49.98
