For 4-5 (No DM) players I would look into this:
http://www.amazon.com/Dungeons-Dragons-Wrath-Ashardalon-Board/dp/0786955708
It has premade characters with some customization and doesn't require a DM.
or for 4 players (No DM) this:
http://www.amazon.com/Mice-and-Mystics-Board-Game/dp/B009TNOF9G/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1427499846&sr=1-1&keywords=Mice+and+Mystics
(I don't know too much about this one except it's got some hype).

Or, if you're inclined for non-fantasy roleplaying, this:
http://www.amazon.com/Bully-Pulpit-Games-BPG-005/dp/1934859397/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1427499923&sr=1-1&keywords=Fiasco

This game is amazing with the right group - but does better with 3-4ish, doable with 5 definitely but it gets kind of cluttered.

Other than that, I would just suggest home-brewing a D&D 5th edition campaign. Character generation is easy, or you can find some premades (I think someone made levels 1-20 for each class). It can be as combat heavy or as political as you want. It would be a lot of work, but you can always steal ideas from the various D&D reddits. You can do a new theme each time you play with new characters - horror, politics, war, ect. It takes a lot of work and flexibility as a GM, but it's completely worth it if your players are invested.

There are long lasting non-rpg board games as well... Diplomacy, Twilight Emperium are the ones I think of off the top of my head, but if you are looking for a fantasy D&D 5th edition is your best bet in my opinion.

Thank you. Mice and Mystics sounds awesome, right up my ally.

Is £53 ($80) what I should be looking to pay?

I played Mice and Mystics with my kids when my youngest was 5 and they both loved it.

Have you looked at all? Amazon, CoolStuffInc, or Board Game Warehouse. They all have good prices, though Board Game Warehouse is the best. With BGW or CSI you will need to spend at least $100 to get free shipping though. BGW is new, but so far has great prices and I can vouch for their quick shipping times. Order some stuff week before last and it arrived within 3 days.

If your kids can read, Mice and Mystics is really fun. The rules aren't terribly complicated and it's a pretty great intro to Dungeons and Dragons.

> I might play 'Betrayal at House on the Hill' - which always goes down well (unless my youngest son turns out to be the betrayer

This is partially why I'm mainly playing coop games with my son! Reckon this weekend we'll take on full difficulty Castle Panic and if we beat it then I might eye up an expansion pack. Also, I had this recommended to me as a game with a bit more progression, which is something I'm tempting him into. Might treat us on pay day.

> then go to see the 'in-laws' in the afternoon (I think im on computer fixing duties FML)

Ah yes, the bane of anyone who works in anything even tangentially related to IT. Thankfully it's fine when I go visit my parents as my dad is an old school techy so it's more telling me what part of his house he;s automated using his Pi.

I started out with Smash Up and Eclipse just recently, but have decided that building into cooperative games will be a good idea. Playing against the family to win can get a little old so here you go

You could go all in with an awesome collection of Cards Against Humanity!

It requires you to have a pretty twisted sense of humor but it's a ton of fun with friends.

You could check out Firefly the Game.

If you're a fan of the space opera, this is one of the more enjoyable games I've ever played.

If you really don't mind blowing 300 bucks, there's the Star Wars X-Wing miniatures game!

You take control of a spacecraft in the Star Wars universe and each game is like an episode of a Star Wars tv show, with a clear goal and twists and turns along the way as you try and accomplish that goal. The miniatures can get pricey but 300 bucks would get you started on a pretty sweet collection if you buy the smaller ships.

300 bucks would also get you started with the world's greatest trading card game: Magic the Gathering!

This classic card game has been around for over 20 years, features thousands upon thousands of cards to select from and, just like chess, takes 10 minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. For 300 bucks you could both have a gaming mat, plenty of dice, a kick-ass card collection and more than enough to start building multiple decks. Heck, you can just go and buy pre-made decks from a plethora of websites. Check out Youtube for suggestions on what formats you might enjoy, but kitchen table Magic the Gathering is VERY satisfying for two people.

Of course, if you really want an epic adventure, you could check out the bigger, meaner, older cousin of Magic the Gathering, and maybe the most infamous table top game in the world: Dungeons and Dragons!

A little more effort than most, but hugely rewarding if you have a colorful imagination and don't mind some simple math (most games requre SOME math, just look at Monopoly), and you have decades of books to explore, and many are available for pretty cheap from both used book stores and your local library (hopefully). This is a hobby that lasts for the rest of your life.

Like Dungeons and Dragons but want a more easy and accessible game to start out? How about [Muchkin!] (http://www.amazon.com/Steve-Jackson-Games-1483SJG-Munchkin/dp/B004U7JJWE/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1462113434&sr=1-1&keywords=munchkin)

We're talking dungeons...dragons...knights in shining armor and a LOT of fun. It's a good start for tabletop gaming.

Of course, Tabletop gaming is pretty extensive when it comes to choices. Here are a few more to check out:

The Game of the Century: Settlers of Catan

Spooky fun with Arkham Horror!

Big Adventures: Small Heroes... Mice and Mystics!

Survive the Zombie Apocalypse with Dead of Winter!

Of course, like Levar Burton says, you don't have to take my word for it. Here is the awesome Wil Wheaton's Youtube series, Tabletop! He plays with his friends so you don't have to! This series is amazing at helping to decide which tabletop game might be best for your playing needs.

Need a little help deciding if Magic the Gathering is right for you? How about Spellslingers on Youtube! Game Guru Day[9] plays Magic with his friends. Not only is this a super easy way to learn the game, it's a lot of fun to watch.

Need a little help understanding Dungeons and Dragons? Give Critical Role on Youtube a listen!

Luckily, you happened upon a time where tabletop games are going stronger than ever so...good luck!
