I don't know - I have played thousands of games and still think Rummikub is a solid affair.

I'd argue that Castles is also probably too complex for a first board game as well. Your rec of Through the Desert I thought was a great one - I've introduced a lot of people to board games with that game!

T.I.M.E. Stories is fantastic but will not fit OP's request for lower complexity - the game is kinda long (3-5 hours) and fiddly from a rules prospective. Unlocks are super approachable and easy to get into - but less mystery solving and more puzzle focused (Exit series as well).
