Obsession

Details

We will be playing two games of Obsession with up to 8 players. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes.

In Obsession you are the head of a respected but troubled family estate in mid-19th century Victorian England. After several lean decades, family fortunes are looking up! Your goal is to improve your estate so as to be in better standing with the truly influential families in Derbyshire. In Obsession you will build a deck of Victorian gentry (British social upper class), renovate your estate by acquiring building tiles from a centralized builders' market, and manipulate an extensive service staff of butlers, housekeepers, underbutlers, maids, valets, and footmen utilizing a novel worker placement mechanic. Successfully hosting prestigious social activities such as Fox Hunts, Music Recitals, Billiards, Political Debates, and Grand Balls increases a player's wealth, reputation, and connections among the elite.
