Definitely agree with the unique mechanic games. However, I'm finding gaming is becoming more and more like Monads; once you learn how to play, you forget how to explain it. It is challenging for me in the extreme to teach new people anything more complicated than Pandemic. I really don't know how I could teach someone Race for the Galaxy again (I sincerely don't know how I managed to convey it to my wife). Recently, to avoid this problem, I've started to suggest that first time players stop by and observe a game before playing it for the first time - since it's a free / friendly event, it isn't as ruthless a suggestion as it may sound like.
