I just taught my wife and a friend to play last night. We are having 4 others over for dinner and Eclipse tonight, so it was a trial run on teaching the game for me.
From how it went last night, I suggest you focus strictly on teaching everyone how the influence disc action system works, and what their population cubes mean.
The toughest thing to teach last night was the concept of your money production vs your money spent.
Also, explain what each of the actions does, but I would skip over the Influence action until someone asks you about it later in the game.
My wife actually ended up being in the lead when we had to call it quits last night. She was playing defensively and after 3 turns she had the advanced economy tech and was producing 12 money and had 2 starbases built on the only entrance into her home system.
