Man, I really need to get Risk: Legacy played again. We were getting into some really interesting stuff when we stopped for some reason.

Also strong recommend for Axis & Allies 1941, it's dirt cheap ($13 copy on the BGG marketplace atm) and is a streamlined version of A&A that's playable in 90-120 minutes.
Explicitly for three players try (the original) Axis & Allies: Pacific, this has a few interesting options including simulating the Pearl Harbour attack at the start of the game and Combat Air Patrols, well worth a look.
Risk: Star Wars Original Trilogy is another decent option although it can end pretty quickly if all players are not aware of the win conditions, possibly a bit light for what he may be after.
And I wouldn't be me without suggesting one of my top 5 games, Fortress America - more interesting combat than A&A and Risk, and they may like the theme.

Haha, jk.
If the kid is interested in Risk, I say play Risk. One of the newer variants is fine. 2210 is solid. Godstorm was kind of spoiled by that card that makes the game longer. Legacy is a triumph, and perfectly acceptable with 3. It may become unplayable with sore losers in the mix though. My first copy got ruined for that reason.

I used to really like that Dust one, I played it an unusual number of times s because my friends at the time really dug it.
Reign gets mixed notices but it’s dirt cheap and it looks like big dumb fun. I thought about buying one for like $10 at B&N a few days ago but passed on it.
Star Wars OT Risk is fun and it’s actually made for 3 players.
Hard to find now though. The Clone Wars one was supposed to be decent too.
LOL what about Quest for the Dragonlords, remember that one?

I'll report back when the kids decide what to try first.

A few sellers on eBay, asking from $200 to $350. I would be tempted if the price was $125.
