I am really looking forward to 7 Wonders and excited that it's supposed to be a good game for new players to pick up.

Ah, it should be a solid game for those needs then and from the videos / pics I saw, it's a very attractive game.

And ditto on Dominant Species, especially since 3 hours is the quick play time and I've seen reports of it often being a 5+ hour game depending on the group.

7 wonders is a little tougher than say ticket to ride to pick up, but after the first age or so, everyone should at least sort of get it.
