Suggest board games good for ages 4, 5, 7

I'm looking to build our stock of games for family game night. What do you think would be appropriate for these ages? We already have Angry Birds, Scrabble Jr., Don't Break the Ice, Elefun, Candy Land, Chutes & Ladders, Memory, Trouble, Uno.

My boys are 5 and 7 and these are the favorites:
Monopoly JR (play very often and now starting real monoply)
Busy Town
Stratego
Chess
Checkers
Chinese Checkers
Clue Jr
Qurikle (probably our current 2nd favorite game of late)
They love all the lego Heroica and ninjago games (but I can't stand them)
Any card games - war, go fish, old maid, uno, slamwich, etc.
Sorry
Battleship
Guess Who?
Life (another big favorite)
Sorry SLiders

I am sure there is more...my youngest loves board games....

We bought Mousetrap for DS this year. He is 5 and will need a little help building it but its a classic! Chat Icon Operation is another favorite too. DS has the one that is shaped like Mater.

My kids really like 'action' games like Bumpershot and Criss Cross. Pattern Play and Anomia get their minds working. Checkers, Chess & Backgammon are in regular rotation too.

Uno, Quirkle, Pictionary, Cranium, Connect 4, Othello and Mastermind are also big favorites on game night.
