I loved M.U.L.E. an unhealthy amount as a kid.

Take a look at Uwe Rosenberg’s games, particularly Caverna or Agricola.

I agree with the recommendations. I love caverna.

Patchwork is great two player game, by that same designer, that I can even play with my mother. She's not particularly into games either.

My game of the year so far is Yokohama. If you like worker placement, I imagine you would like this.
