how do I get mage wars arena on the table ?

I have a copy of mage wars arena that I love quite a bit. However I struggle to get it on the table. Because it's a 2p game, I have to rely on my partner being interested in playing it. Till now, I've had no success. Just to be clear, my partner is a boardgame nut.

Do you all experience the same ? If yes, how do you satiefy the mage wars arena itch ? Any other games that's similar in vibe but is easier to get on the table ?
