We play 7 Wonders with a lot of new players. "Play a card every round" isn't too hard to explain. Just make sure you're using the vanilla wonders not the ones with complex bonuses. More than once new players could win their first game.

There's a Duel version for random strangers on trains and such.

I played 7 Wonders Duel and it is not that simple. Maybe the mechanics, but you have to have at least an idea of what strategy and tactics to use for it to be any fun

No experience yet with the Duel variety. Regular 7 Wonders would be one age of explanation, then the second age without explaining and finally some explanation around the Guild cards again by the third age. The second game would be without explanation.
