Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're already a fan of *Obsession* and looking to add a little extra flair and strategic advantage to your games, these promotional cards are just what you need! Born from a cool fan contest, they introduce two special guests who are sure to spice up your mansion and your gameplay.
First up is Lady Mary Shelton, a distinguished lady who not only brings an air of prestige but also allows you to add an extra male guest to any activity she attends. Imagine the strategic possibilities! Then there's Aston Webb, a renowned architect who offers a sweet deal: he lets you acquire an improvement from the marketplace completely free of charge. It's the kind of card that can totally turn the tables at the perfect moment!
These cards came about due to a minor hiccup with the base game's player boards, which needed reprinting. Instead of just fixing it, the publisher decided to turn the mistake into something awesome for the community by holding a contest for fans to design new cards. And voilà! Two gems emerged from this process, handpicked by the players themselves. If you're looking to enhance your *Obsession* experience with unique characters and game-changing abilities, these promos are a fantastic find. They're perfect for players who have already mastered the base game and are seeking new ways to optimize their moves and impress their guests.
