Tried to teach my sister Terraforming Mars and she fell asleep

I spent two hours setting it up in my living room and explaining the rules, but she was out cold by the third generation. I learned that not everyone finds engine-building as exciting as we do, even with the Prelude expansion to speed things up. How do you introduce heavy games to people who usually just play Codenames?

What if the real problem is that Terraforming Mars is just boring? Maybe she had the right idea.

Honestly, is this why we keep starting projects and then just give up halfway through?

Just boring" is the real reason we quit.
