My 7 year old is fast becoming my main gaming partner as well (and we live in Champaign.)
We just played Ravenloft this weekend. He enjoys it but usually his interest fades near the end until the final boss battle.
He currently loves Legendary and seems to always win. I taught him and the rest of the family Escape: The Curse of the Temple and it was possibly the biggest success I've ever had. Everyone wanted to play again and again. King of Tokyo is very popular here and both the kids like Jaipur. Flashpoint was also recently successful. Flash Duel and Dragonheart are other quick 2-player games that have worked well.

We stop by the Gopher frequently to look at games. Currently he is eyeing the DC Deckbuilding game and Puzzle Strike. We'll see.

We got to play King of Tokyo at the Urbana Free Library's game day back in February (I think). He liked it, my the dice were too big to fit in his hands and there wasn't a dice cup available, so it wasn't as big a hit as I was predicting. Escape: Curse of the Temple's on my list to try, but a bit past my current price point. I'm not familiar with Jaipur, Flash Duel, or Dragonheart.
Once things on my end settle down in late July, I'm definitely interested in meeting in person. Anybody who's a fan of Eliot Spencer can't be all bad. :)
Quarriors worked okay for us. I ended up selling it though. I didn't care for it.
It's actually David Foster Wallace. But I'm still not all bad.
