For me, it's Crusader Kings. I've tried a couple of times and can't get it. It seems like a game I would really enjoy if I understood it. Also, I think maybe I assume the goal is to "win" and be the emperor like right away but I'm probably supposed to be happy being a simple duke or whatever with a mind toward the generational long game.
I thought for years I'd be too stupid, but it turned out the trick was to play with friends! We had a friend be "project manager" and tell each person what to work on. I found focusing on one system at a time (ie. hooking up oil or putting a new product on the main bus) to be very manageable. It's the big picture stuff I struggle with
