Shelf of shame check-in: what's the unplayed game you keep meaning to table?

Mine is Twilight Imperium. Owned it four years. It needs six people, eight hours, and a table I don't own. I have accepted that it's furniture now, but I can't sell it because THIS is the year. Misery loves company, so confess.

Gloomhaven. Currently the heaviest object in my apartment that isn't the fridge. We got two scenarios in and the campaign has been on hiatus ever since.

Does the digital shelf count? Because I own three flight sims and zero joysticks.

digital counts. shame is platform agnostic.

I don't buy games I won't play, which sounds smug until you learn I achieve this by only ever playing Wingspan. My group has stopped suggesting alternatives.

Thread update: this shamed me into scheduling Twilight Imperium for the August long weekend. Six confirmed players. If it collapses I'm selling the box and buying more crokinole discs.
