Re: Can anyone recommend me a good board game?

We don't do that here.

Flash Duel,

Deceptively simple and has 7 game modes in 1 box. Make sure you get the 2nd ed if you get it. You get 20 different fighters. Adds so much to the longevity of the game and it is a card based game. The playing board is also on some cards so it is portable. Usually play it on trips or hotels. Should be under $40

So, I want to get my friend a board game for his birthday. I'm not quite sure what's good and was going to look up review on BGG but sadly it's down. So I thought I'd ask you veterans for help.
So far, I know he's really into card games like Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards and Munchkin. He already owns Munchkin Quest (which he really likes) and Ikusa (which he likes but modified the rules and plays his own way). He dislikes Risk, Monopoly, Last Night on Earth: Zombies, and simple board games. He recently bought Puppet Wars and I was thinking of buying him the expansion pack, but I'm not sure if he really likes the game yet. He's heard of Settlers of Catan and Age of Conan but I don't think he's interested in it. My price range is up to $80.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

From the sounds of it, I think he might really enjoy Quarriors, which would be quite an eye opening surprise for him...
