Thinking about getting a friend a themed boardgame for his 40th. Looks like Dune: Imperium, War of the Ring, and Star Wars: Rebellion have good reviews/scores on BoardGameGeeks, but I'm worried they're all too intense. We might get a game in while I'm visiting, but not sure he'd get use out of them after I leave. Maybe Small World of Warcraft would be a possibility?
Any thoughts on those games? Or some other nerdy licensed game that might be more casual friendly?
The games you listed are good, but very long and fairly complex. War of the Ring is an all day affair and Star Wars Rebellion is a similar commitment. See Horus Heresy, Eclipse, and Twilight Imperium for similar experiences.Thinking about getting a friend a themed boardgame for his 40th.

There’s a Marvel Dice throne now if you really want something licensed and easy to play/fun. There’s non licensed too that you can mix and match with it. Any of the 2 or 4 box sets would be good.Thinking about getting a friend a themed boardgame for his 40th.

If your friend is new to board games, I would not recommend any of the games you have listed. In fact, unless your friend is already into board games, I wouldnt recommend one as a gift. Who is he going to play with? Does he have other friends besides yourself that he can game with? If you insist on a board game gift for a neophyte, I would suggest one with a solo mode in case he doesn’t have a group.Thinking about getting a friend a themed boardgame for his 40th.

He's played board games before (I remember specifically my friends getting a game back before 2005...I thought it was Resident Evil, but can't find anything like that, so maybe Doom?), but that's why I came here to ask for other options after seeing how intense those games looked; I don't know that he has people that are very likely to play with him now, so something that might get his wife interested would be a boon.If your friend is new to board games, I would not recommend any of the games you have listed.

As far as themed game…..:what is he really into? From what you mentioned it looks like he likes a lot of pop culture/fantasy stuff, but is there a certain movie/book, etc that he really likes?
