As someone who has only recently in the last 4 or 5 years started to re-embrace my love for board games. I have a few things that are sure hooks for me when it comes to board games.
First is a short play time, often because I am throwing down a game while I am waiting for gamer’s to show up for my RPG game at the time. So they are space/time fillers. As such the game has to be playable in under an hour. Preferably 30 min or more. After all there is such a thing as too short.
They have to be for group of 1-5ish players. After all often were just waiting for one or two people in the game group. And i needs to be somewhat compact so it’s not taking up much room. And the price point has to be too to.  Not an easy task but it is unlikely that I will throw board games down regularly.
