For the most part below 7s are looked down on, the monopolys of the world, but there some in the 6.5-6.9 range that, while maybe mechanically pretty dull, can still be entertaining or at least and easy to teach with a newer group, but those are case by case basis, most are there for reason. 6.6 I'd expect to be a pass for myself as well 90% of the time bgg-wise. there's so many good reasonably priced 7+s these days why bother risking it
epilogue: if anyone cared enough to read all this trying to figure out a game to buy for you group, just go ahead and buy quacks of quedlinburg. you'll thank me later.

BGG also has game rankings that score the top games. I think those can be more helpful to me at least. There are 1000's of games up there so if a game has ranked in the top 100 or so then its a safe bet its a good game. Patchwork is the #20 family game and thats quite high:

Another thing to look for is the award and nominations for the different best game or game of the year. If games get nominations then thats a good endorsement.
For example BGG has Patchwork listed with all these :

I'd say if you like one there is a decent chance you'd like the other. As has already been mentioned, this is two player only, where Azul is 2-4 players, and IMO excels at higher player counts (although it's good at two).
