unplayable

/ʌnplˈeɪəbəl/ adj

That cannot be played; that is impossible or unreasonable (too difficult, etc.) to play.

Word Origin Play comes from Proto-Germanic pleganan 'to move about sportively' — so unplayable means not able to be played. The root also gives us playful, player, and playground. The PIE root *dlegh- meant 'to engage oneself', which captures the immersive nature of play.
