This is for Christmas and your son wants to be surprised... you gotta go for something big / rare / hard to find. My key for gift giving is to get them something they want, but wouldn't spend the money on themselves. So with that in mind, consider the following:
Guessing a college kid on a budget won't have spent that kinda money, but it's the perfect game for college kids... the intro game takes about 15-25 hrs to complete... College kids don't sleep or do homework, so they've got nothing but time!

OK, so maybe you don't agree with me and just want to get less "wow" games and opt for less expensive stuff. Here are some I'd recommend that fit in with what else he has and are really solid games:

Didn't really think this through lol, had to remove Skullport because I had gone over by $25. I obviously couldn't include some classics, but I tried to make it somewhat varied and accessible for everyone.
Link cause it never works correctly on mobile
https://www.amazon.com/Stonemaier-Games-STM600-Scythe-Board/dp/B01IPUGYK6
Amazon has it for about a buck more, so it's probably cheaper there given that gas costs money.
Since nobody else posted a link: https://smile.amazon.com/Stonemaier-Games-STM600-Scythe-Board/dp/B01IPUGYK6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487254604&sr=8-1&keywords=scythe
Sold by a 3rd party, it's available to purchase but backordered until the 24th.
This game is set in the same world as the board game called Scythe, which is a fantastic game!!!
I'm pretty sure he was involved with Scythe
Check out Scythe: https://www.amazon.com/Stonemaier-Games-STM600-Scythe-Board/dp/B01IPUGYK6
looks good.

I played this game for the first time just a few weeks ago. It's not bad. My favorite parts are the art and the setting. The gameplay LOOKS like worker-placement meets Risk, but it's not. I haven't played enough to give a solid review on the gameplay.
The setting gives a REALLY strong sense of war fatigue on a pseudo-European continent that can barely fight after years of devastating war.
Scythe 39.99$

I don't think Scythe is on the Amazon sale. In fact that price is above normal.

Other sellers are selling it, but sold by amazon.com is exclusive to prime members:

Link? It's showing up fine for me, and at a pretty good price too! Here's what I see.
s američkog amazona je preporuka ne naručivati zbog carina, u HR u Carta Magici igra dođe oko 650 kn , a na britanskom amazonu je cijena nekih 100 kn niža

Ima na amazonu za 50$ samo trenutno, ako uspijem naći link preko mobitela bacim edit.
Edit: mislim da je to ovo, ne znam je li ima čak jeftinije za nabaviti https://www.amazon.com/Stonemaier-Games-STM600-Scythe-Board/dp/B01IPUGYK6
Na /r/boardgames se često spomene scythe pa se isplati tamo otići i potražiti recenzije (ili na Board games geek)

Do you not have amazon in your country?
So, based on what you've said, I think I'm gonna have to be that guy and suggest Scythe. This game is pretty new and has been hyped to infinity and beyond and has won a whole bunch of people's choice and critic's awards. I personally am not a fan of it based on personal taste, but I genuinely think it fits pretty much exactly what you're looking for.
It has a military theme but it's still very accessible because combat is not really the focus of the game and there are several viable paths to victory. You strive to expand your influence on the board, which lets you harvest resources, which give you a "collect" feeling. The game may seem simple at first but apparently there is a lot of strategy involved once you dig deeper. You can make deals and form alliances. At its core, it's an engine builder, meaning you start off with an economy that you can customize and make more efficient over time to give you a sense of progression. Plays best with 4 people and lasts about 90 minutes with experienced players.
Overall I think it fits the bill pretty perfectly. It's $55 at CoolStuffInc, $55 at MiniatureMarket, and $75 on Amazon
