While I absolutely love the game, as a dueling card game, it really is best between two equally matched players giving it their all to win. Pretty much the only way I can convince my wife to play is if I agree to just make some dumb moves on purpose so I don't completely blow her away in points every round. Beyond that, the better player might not want to play optimally all the time. One way to accomplish that mechanically is to expose one player's taken tricks, or even their entire hand. So, if you suspect there might be a similar dynamic between the two of you, you may want to handicap the better player. As a result, this game plays a little bit like Chess between a grand master and an amateur, where the amateur might understand the rules of the game, but will struggle every time to compete with the grand master. Me on the other hand, I picked up the game very quickly and the overall strategy of the game just felt very intuitive to me, so I'm quite good at deceiving my opponent and setting up interesting chains of events with the special power cards. She's actually quite decent at it when all is said and done, but it just takes a lot of mental effort for her to wrap her head around how a hand is likely to play out. However, unlike Carcassonne, I have a tough time getting my wife to play The Fox in the Forest, because it's kind of a brain burner for her. The Fox in the Forest is quite possibly tied with Carcassone for being my all-time favorite game. If she likes to play cards with you, I think this one's a solid choice! I love The Fox in the Forest and so does my wife! I hope it works out for you two. I would only recommend going that route when specifically requested by your opponent (for example, when I teach Netrunner to an experienced CCG player who specifically asks that I not go easy on them).

Playing full force because "that's how you play" and crushing a new player almost always results in them being turned away from wanted to play again. I've learned that fun initial games lead to the game being as well received as it can be, and if they like the game they'll definitely want to play more. Not sure how many trick taking games she's played with a regular deck of cards (that will certainly help), but if she has played some and she trounces you because you weren't going full force in the learning game, chalk it up to a successful teaching round and ask if she wants to play again. It's more important that she has a good time coming to grips with any rules questions and doesn't feel frustrated by the learning process. Don't concentrate on winning at all costs.
