RftG is sort of similar to San Juan, which is based on Puerto Rico. There are some concepts that you can use to help explain RftG to someone who knows PR, but it's definitely not like playing the same game.
The trick with RftG is the learning curve. Getting used to all the symbols and how consume work takes a few plays, but once you've got that figured out, it's an easy game to play. My wife isn't really a hardcore gamer: She likes some of the same ones as your wife does although I have got her into games of Puerto Rico and Power Grid recently. She found RftG a little confusing at first, but now it's one of her favourite games. We've played the 2-player version quite a bit. The other night, we played 3 games: I won the first one, she won the second, and the third came down to a tiebreaker! (I had 2 or 3 more cards in hand...)
