What games have fallen flat with you or your group recently?

Do you tend to give games second chances?

What's your unicorn game? Not just a rare game you're looking for, but the game that would be absolutely perfect for you, if it existed

It wasn't recent, but the first time we tried to play Spyfall it kinda sucked. Gave it a second chance a few months later and it finally clicked with our group.

My unicorn games are a true space 4x that can be adjusted for games between 2 hours and 2 days, a giant monster/robot fighting game with a decent amount of tactical depth, and a goddamn pirate game that doesn't have glaring problems.

>robot fighting game with a decent amount of tactical depth
This. Wonder how that not-Armored Core game did after they failed to get the license. Lack of news and the suspicious act of marketing it as an Armored Core game before getting permission probably doomed it I'm guessing? Seemed pretty fun too.

Yes.
Terra Mystica turned out to be very good.
Formula D turned out to be worse than I thought.

Asymmetrical area control worker placement set in the Mojave Wasteland.

Giga Robo might scratch one of those itches, even if the art is pretty mediocre even by weeb standards.
