You are the head of a respected, but troubled, family estate in mid-19th century Victorian England. After several lean decades, the family fortunes are looking up! Your goal is to improve your estate to gain a better reputation among the influential families in Derbyshire. Obsession is a 16 to 20 round game where players build a deck of Victorian gentry (British upper social class), renovate their estate by acquiring building tiles on a centralized market, and manage an extensive service staff of butlers, housekeepers, underbutlers, maids, valets, and footmen with a novel worker placement mechanism. 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 to the elite. In each round, players choose a tile representing a room or outdoor area in and around their 19th-century British country house. The chosen tile determines the event that can be hosted and the guests who can be invited. However, players must plan carefully to have the right staff available to serve the event and assist guests as needed. Success is rewarded with new investment opportunities that allow further renovation of the estate (acquiring more valuable/powerful building tiles), an increase in reputation in the county, a growing circle of influential acquaintances, and a larger and highly skilled household staff. Throughout the game, a competing courtship for the hand of the most attractive young lord and lady in the county presents specific renovation and reputation goals. The player who best meets these goals and collects victory points wins the hand of the wealthy favorite interest and the game.
