Wasabi! is a great little game that scales from 2 - 4 and plays fast
(if you don't have AP).  It is cheap and can be a bit of a brain
burner with 3 or 4.
Battlestar Galactica is a 2 - 3 hours game and is great with a full
complement of players.
I personally can't stand Shogun but if you like Wallenstein you'll
like Shogun
Dominion is fun for a few games and it is fast but I think the Novelty
will wear thin eventually
As above Stone Age is a good choice
Formula D ( the Formula De Remake) is good for a dicefest when having
beers with your friends
Alhambra has been reprinted and is good for 3 or 4 players and plays
fast but it may be above your Gift Certificate

I hope you find a game you enjoy

Chris
