I was recently in Barcelona Spain in a hotel room with one queen bed. The bathroom was on one side of the entryway and on the other side was the shower with a clear glass door
As other people have said, there's almost no one who will stand the full test of time. Washington/Jefferson owned slaves for instance. There are people who did bad things but also accomplished things. Perhaps we allow things to be named after them but have to say for __ ie being named after James Webb for his work on the lunar landings. Perhaps also when naming buildings/etc after people, have a plaque that mentions some of the controversies around the person. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-might-change...
Or we move away from naming things after people.
Really depends on what type of game you're looking for. Generally when I'm trying to figure out what types of games people like, I'll ask if they have played Settlers of Catan and if they want ones longer/more complex than that or if Settlers of Catan was too long/too complex, or if they want more social games.
check out https://www.yucata.de/en and https://boardgamearena.com/ where you can play online. If it's hard to get people to play in person, perhaps see if you could get a group to play online - join a video call and then set up the game on boardgamearena.
Depending on where you are, look to see if there are boardgame meetups. These are a great way to learn games. At most of these, people will split into small groups, play a game, then when some groups are done, people will suggest some next games and people will split up and play those. Even for people who have been playing boardgames for years, I'd say we expect to be teaching a game to some people/learning a new game we've never played because there just so many boardgames out there.

I've been playing some games on https://www.yucata.de/en with friends - San Juan, Imhotep, Castles of Burgundy, Russian Railroads, Thurn and Taxis. Beware with Yucata that if you start a game with more than 2 people, you cannot resign and if you start a different game, it makes you take your turn in other games first. We also use Tabletopia https://tabletopia.com/games - Terra Mystica - one person needs to buy Tabletopia.
