Obsession Board Game Strategy & Worker Placement

The Obsession 2nd Edition is an award-winning strategy board game by Dan Hallagan, that transports you to Victorian England of the 19th century. You take on the management of an aristocratic but financially declining family, aiming to renovate your estate, gain social influence, and win the favor of the most important families of Derbyshire.

In the Obsession Board Game, players manage their family estate through a unique combination of worker placement, deck building, tile placement, engine building, and hand management.

Successful organization requires proper management of staff, such as butlers, housekeepers, valets, maids, footmen, and underbutlers, offering a deep strategic experience with a strong thematic character.
