So I followed Kyle's example to try to get an inventory of , and I was surprised at how many I have under the category of "Games I own but never played". Some for good reasons... others, not so much. I've got 20 of them:
Aces & Eights (RPG); Pittsburg 68 (card game): Picked up both at GenCon at different times. Aces & Eights was just not what I expected--great setting, awful rules. Now that I've pulled it out again, I may steal the setting to play under some other system. Pittsburg 68 is a zombie card game that is slightly more involved and intimidating than most of my card games. I need to get back to this one, because it looks really fun.
Castle Ravenloft (board game): I feel bad about this one. I talked my mom into buying it for me. I've gotten it out and set it up, but never talked the kids into playing it with me. Now it's been sitting there long enough that I'm kind of intimidated by it. It's very complex. I'm thinking I'll take it to Game Night and give it a shot.
Classroom Deathmatch; Hostage; Primetime Adventures; True 20: All free PDF roleplaying games that I've just never used. Classroom Deathmatch looks like a hoot if I ever get the right group for it.
Clusterf*ck; Pairs: Two card games I got for free in my Concert Against Humanity swag bag.
Collectors (RPG); Terra Incognita (RPG); Den of Thieves (card game): These three were sent to me free for being a contributor or being connected to the company.
Cyberpunk (RPG); Tabloid! (RPG): Uh... I think I got Cyberpunk from Phoebe's husband, because he had a bunch of old gaming stuff he didn't have a use for anymore. Tabloid! came from Kyle under the same sort of circumstances.
Gloom (card game): I lost it before I ever played it. It's in my house somewhere. I periodically make a search for it.
GURPS (RPG); Savage Worlds (RPG): Both of these were purchased during my more enthusiastic game-writing phases, and I really just wanted to familiarize myself with them. I never intended to play GURPS. Savage Worlds, though, still calls to me once in while.
Munchkin Quest (board game): This was a gift from back before I got super-enthusiastic about tabletop stuff, and it was put in a closet where I forgot that I even owned it until recently.
Qwixx (dice game); Saboteur (card game) Both of these are recent gifts. I just haven't gotten to them yet.
What about you? I can't be the only one.

Re: Games you own that you've never played
Oh geez- there's so many RPGs that I haven't played. I'd need to look through my closet and see what's there.
Pariah- I have a printed copy and everything. Never played it, even though it's the second-best written game I've ever seen.
Mike- what was that LARP that they sold on Rogue Publishing? I have a copy of that printed out too, but never played it.

Re: Games you own that you've never played
Kill Doctor Lucky: Got it in the mail a few weeks back randomly from a friend, haven't had a chance to try it yet.
Kill Doctor Lucky: The Card Game: Got it last Christmas from my sisters. Promptly got lost somewhere in the house and forgot I had it.
Hanabi: Got it last year from Mrs. Darcs for something. Anniversary? Birthday? Haven't opened it yet.
Forbidden Island: Birthday present from Mrs. Darcs for this year. My kids promptly took it upstairs, and I think it's hiding in a pile of laundry.
Yetisburg: Two-player card game I bought because I thought the title was funny. Haven't done anything with it since.
X-Men Card Game: I think I bought this out of a bargain bin some time in high school. I think it's packed away someplace in the attic.
Macho Women With Guns: Again, something I bought because I thought the title was funny. I read it, but there doesn't really seem to be any substance.
Sailor Moon RPG: I don't remember exactly how I got this, but I think Mrs. Darcs was somehow involved. I think she gave me my copy, when someone gave her a SECOND copy, not remembering that they had already bought it for her once. So there are two copies of this up in the attic.
I also have some expansions for games that I haven't added yet. Super Munchkin, Marvel Munchkin; Chez Guevara (Chez Geek); Widow's Walk (Betrayal at the House on the Hill); any of the expansions for the Rise of the Runelords card game; the first expansion for Arkham Horror; Bavarian Fire Drill (Illuminati).

Re: Games you own that you've never played
I bought this cool game, ahem, Santa bought it, with sticks and pulleys and you're supposed to build something... No idea because we've never played it yet and it's almost August.
Re: Games you own that you've never played
My goal is to kick out all the games off my "Own but never played" list. Played Lazer Ryderz yesterday (so good), and I plan to play love letter today.
