The in-laws heard about it from the Today show and begged to play it. Ended after the first round and howls of "The Today show lied". It was not a pleasant evening but that was only a part of it.
By the time we were able to get hundreds of copies to meet demand the pandemic hit so we never did a demo night to teach those people.
I can also imagine a bunch of people paying well over the $50 MSRP during the great wingspan drought on its release year
Got my in-laws to play too. I think if folks aren't interested I anything beyond checkers or monopoly it's gonna be a tough sell. Having played Catan with them before I figured they'd pick up on it. Kinda mixed reviews but there was interest for sure.
