I quite like Nova Luna as a game that everyone can play, but that has a fierce optimization aspect, if you are into that.
I was pleasantly surprised by Lost Ruins of Arnak - I don't think there is any other game that has this combination of worker placement and deck building. I was a bit worried how the very low number of turns would interact with the deck building elements (generally cycling through the deck very often is expected in that genre), but it works surprsingly well!
We sadly did not like Arnak, it felt a lot like min/maxing from turn one. We had a couple of 2 and 3 player sessions but none was very convincing.
Oh yeah it is certainly a bit on the dry optimization side of things. I haven't played it enough to be certain, but it definitely feels like there is some degree of snowballing going on depending on how your first few turns went.
