Holly fuck man, are you me?
I've been trying to convince my family to play monopoly, since the last week I've been telling them that it will be interesting and fun to try it.

Still no good results though, they are too busy.

No, not monopoly itself, god! well I mean, when properly played Monopoly is tolerable, but it's still pretty crap.
I"m trying to get them to play something good, like Pandemic.

If they don't want to do actual board games, do stuff like hearts, spades, and things like that.

Those are good games that are well within the comfort zone of most old people.

From there you can try to introduce some other trick taking games like Diamonds and such, and try to grow from there.

But if they don't want to play board games (even if they don't know what board games are now) don't try to force them into it.

It's all about finding the right vector OP. Any themes or styles of media they enjoy, any specific aspects you might be able to key into a board game.

Catan is a staple good beginner board game, but if they're not interested in that classic sit down experience, you might also get some fun out of a social deduction game like The Resistance or Secret Hitler. I've had great success playing those games with non-gamers, since the mechanics are simple and it's all about the social relationships at play.

Start with simple, short games to get them interested. Preferably something you can explain in less than a minute.

Get Carcassone. I even get my non-/tg/ friends asking to bring "the tile game" whenever we meet up.

I don't mind Catan but I prefer how quick and dynamic Carcassone is.

I've just noticed that separate River tile and it's really bugging me. More than it bending the same way twice.

DAMMIT ANON I DIDN'T EVEN SEE ANYTHING UNTIL YOU MENTIONED IT

Well, you'd better not look at the illegal tile between the two town on the right then.
