What is a board game that you found "just OK" or overrated, but everyone else seems to love?

I have a couple.
- Scythe
- Flamecraft
- Heat - Pedal to the Metal
- Viticulture
I agree on Heat. Can't understand the praise it gets.
Have yet to play Scythe, but I don't think it is a game for me by what I've heard.
Viticulture is good but I have workerplacement games I prefer over it.

Scythe just really doesn't work for me. Felt like that from the first game, and after 4 games nothing had changed, so I don't see a point in playing it anymore. Combat is uninteresting and the gameplay is exceedingly flat. The tight resource management is done better in many other games. The factions has optimal opening lines and ways that you "should" play, so the flexibility/variety in each game if everyone is reasonably efficient is low.
