What are some good ones that work for common people?

Board games fall into a few categories: https://www.gearhungry.com/types-of-board-games/

Then within those categories you have easier and harder games (and better made or less better).

Try a sampler platter and see what works and is fun.

Some specific suggestions:

Love letter, Takanoko, munchkin, elder sign.

Carcassonne, saboteur, splendor.
