About the game

What you do in a play session

For all you 'Obsession' fans who love diving deep into the Victorian era's social machinations, get ready to give your mansion a serious upgrade! This expansion pack introduces four unique guests, each armed with their own special abilities to shake up your gameplay. Meet Count Zunyer Garcias, who helps you boost your hand with prestigious guests and even lets you retrieve one from your discard pile. Then there's Thomas, Lord Vasel, who grants you a free pass to grab any market tile (except monuments, of course!) without spending a dime, and even lets you pass this perk to the next player. Michael, Viscount DiLisio, arrives with extra cash and the power to dismiss unwanted guests, freeing up space for more desirable company. And to top it off, Camilla, Countess Cleghorn, not only allows you to add an extra guest to an activity, ignoring pesky restrictions, but also lets you draw a handful of casual guests to pick the best ones. Each of these characters adds an extra layer of strategy and unique opportunities, ensuring your game nights are always full of surprises and fresh tactics. It's the perfect chance to add that exclusive touch to your games and see who truly masters the art of hosting and impressing!
