I've thought a bit, this is what I got:
Trying to be all inclusive with board game night is a hopeless effort I feel. Some people don't like games that involve debate or heavy emphasis on social aspects. Some people don't like board games heavily luck/dice based. Some people don't like short games and some don't like ones that take a long time. Some don't like repeatedly playing the same game. Nobody likes everything.
Whoever has decided to host that week should, in my opinion, pick what they themselves want to play at that week in time. Those who also wish to play can join and those who don't wish to play can continue on no worse for wear until something they'd enjoy comes along. If we continually try to be all-inclusive/encompassing all the time, we will just end up doing the same games until they become stale and attendance dwindles.
Additionally, I don't feel it's fair to write off being able to play an entire game others might if one person potentially does not want to.
