So maybe wait until he's 12 on that one.

We had him in a C&G game and he got into an in-game dispute with another player so he is standing up, pointing an airsoft gun (we dispensed with the foam guns and used fake Glocks, Sigs, 45s, etc.- most with laser sights and scopes and shit attached to them) at the other guy. He's all gangstered up, "Put your fuckin' piece down you god damned pussy, I will fuck your world up so sit the fuck down and shut your mouth". We were cracking up- this kid was like 12. He's got his back to the door, and I see his mom come in. She walked up behind him and taps him on the back. He turned around and THREW the gun in air and gasped, turning RED as anyone I've ever seen turn red, just about falling over the table. It was SO funny, his mom was even laughing about it.

That's awesome. Years ago, Shelly also told a great story here about kids playing Ca$h 'n Gun$. It's funny, because the game is certainly simple enough for young kids to play, but the combination of the cash and the guns make it feel like very adult subject matter.

Some recommendations from here are
Looney Quest (that would be my top tip)
King of Tokyo
Diamant
Best Little Treehouse Ever
currently popular with my 6 year old anyway

I got my son Bisikle (pretty cheap on American Amazon too) and after playing it a couple of times he declared it the best game of all time... although he was used to Pitchcar, Carrom, Crokinole, Catacombs, Flick em Up ... so he knows how to flick. At his birthday party they played a big game of pitchcar and I saw how horrible the other kids were at flicking... some of them sort of had by the end of the third lap but it takes some time for their little fingers to figure it out. Still though I would consider Bisikle it's easy enough for kids to make tracks, the pieces snap together pretty easily and it's affordable. If you do it though I'd recommend printing out the pre-designed tracks from BGG since the game doesn't come with any info on how to build tracks.
He also loves Dice Masters, King of Tokyo and Luchador. All great choices.
For his birthday party I got him two hundred water balloons (you can fill 33 at a time) and they all dressed up as super heroes. Then I got into a super villain outfit and snuck around the backyard and the kids had to take out the villain. They loved it. The balloons were about 15$ and I had to get soaking wet but the kids are still talking about it a month later. I think it would work as just a gift.. it was a bigger hit than I thought it would be.
