I recommend Wingspan for a wide range of gamers. If you don't have anyone to play with there is a very nice app you can play (steam, ios) with great music, AI, relaxing vibe.
I enjoyed this one digitally but it took me a really long time to grok the rules, maybe my first standalone deckbuilding game outside of the Witcher 3 in game card collecting quest. The expansions didn't make the game more fun IMHO outside of seeing new birds. It seems like a lot of rules to keep track of if doing it in person - is that normally an issue when playing it with physical cards and pieces? After I got decent enough to beat the CPU on high difficulty a bit I ventured online for multiplayer with real people - the online community was very small - I tried a few times and there's such a small pool of players for matchmaking I always ended up against the same player who was much better than me so I could never manage better than second of three.
