My first game was WCS, and I think it was a great pick. It is approachable, so I was able to get my wife interested in playing ( she was more excited about pin #2 coming into the house, and I've caught her playing when I'm not around because she "wants to crush me" someday), and personally I really enjoy playing it. You can certainly make it harder as needed.
My next pin will be for me (I.e. Something harder) now we have 2 that we both throughly enjoy.
