Obsession - Board Game Review - Oh Mr Fairchild, You're Spoiling Us!
Sorry I messed up the title of the video in the credits!!!!
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.
Obsession is a game of 16 to 20 turns in which players build a deck of Victorian gentry (British social upper class), renovate their 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.

Apparently this game came about because the designer wanted a game that his wife would play and Downton Abbey was her favourite show. He looked for a game with the right theme and didn't think any of them fitted the bill. He then set out to make a game he would want to play while having the theme his wife would love.I think that's why you can see the theme oozing out of every piece.

@lazulin Год назад

Thank you for reviewing this - as a card-holding member of the legion of the Obsessed. :) I think even a lot of us original fans are stunned by how popular Obsession has gotten, because I think we (like the designer) saw it as a niche game in a category that doesn't get a whole lot of titles. You were 100% on the money with your comparisons to Legacy: The Testament of Duke de Crecy and Last Will - games dripping with this theme, humorous, and standing out because it's just such a special experience. The one note I'd have is that the Upstairs, Downstairs expansion is really designed for the many heavier gamers who started playing Obsession and wanted less luck. That expansion gives you a ton more control in a bunch of luck elements of Obsession. The original design was really meant to have swings of Victorian fate so you don't crush your family members, but I think the expansion does a really good job of reducing those luck elements down for people who are playing with heavier gaming groups. I do think unexperienced players will often underestimate the value of the Head Housemaid, who lets you screen guests... but her real power isn't even avoiding negative casual guests; it's helping you luck into the prestige guests you want... whether you're looking for a low-rep one to get your engine off the ground or a high-rep one that will give you VP cards and more prestige guests.

@TheBrokenMeeple Год назад

The housemaid is good but again it's that issue of "i'm going out of my way to mitigate" but someone else might not have to do so.

@monomundo Год назад

Obsession went in and out of my wishlist before I took the final step while scanning the top 200 games on BGG and watching a passionate video of Stephanie from "3 Minute Boardgames". As you, I was not keen on the theme at all. I got it to a two player table last week and was utterly impressed. The roleplaying and stories the game created stayed with us for days. We will play it again today with the addition of a Lady. As you have stated, it is a passion project and it is a much proper way to use crowdfounding in my opinion. Anyhow, I am happy to see that you are as passionate as me on this one. Have a nice weekend.

@th1ngo Год назад

As a backer of the original release of "Obsession", it was telling watching Dan Hallagan on his video as he checked the components sent by the printer for approval. A real labour of love, prompted to include his wife's interests. I guess you too, have picked up on this. Thanks for another beaut review.

@aonline_abridged Год назад

AND the designer is very involved and open with the community, he is a champion for the long term permanence and reach of Obsession and I am very excited for what he publishes next. In terms of the luck factor (which you reminded me of because I no longer remember paying vanilla base game), he has offered official variants (printed in the rulebooks and expansions) to adjust the luck factor and it is worth to note that although a focus of the game, winning the Fairchild courtship is not a deciding factor. This is even more prominent as you add expansions and variants, you can totally win without going for the marriage match, the trick is to decide early on how much you wan to invest in chasing that tail ;p

@TheBrokenMeeple Год назад

8 pts is a decent amount though for getting Fairchild in the last bit.

@Vadimaster Год назад

I consider myself one of the avid fans of this game and I too wanted to see your thoughts on it. Actually, I expected you to score it lower, but I wouldn’t have burned you down even if you didn’t like it. This game is for everyone (is any game?), as you need to accept the luck factor and if you don’t like the theme, it’s already an uphill battle for Obsession to conquer your heart. Yet, if you get the theme, of find a way to work around it (as you did), it has a lot to offer. I will say, I will play this at 3 or 4, but only if the other players are deep into the theme. At that point it becomes a social experience, rather than just a game night, which makes the 3 hours fly by like nothing. This game was indeed a labor of love and it shows. This game stands out from the crowd, whether you like it or not.

@TheBrokenMeeple Год назад

You sure you wouldn't have burned me? :P

@laciemckindle2684 Год назад

Hahaha hahaha! 😆 This is my game group's favorite game! We've played a lot at a 5 player count. You can dismiss guests you don't want to keep because of their negative VP using the matriarch card. Meaning you can keep those negative VP cards to closer til the end. It's VERY strategic. I've never lost playing this in my game group and I've had absolute crap cards many times. Is it a guarantee you will win, no. If you can't figure how to play against the luck factor, you may want to play it more. There is a rhythm to it. Glad you reviewed!

@TheBrokenMeeple Год назад

You can play against it, that's not the issue. The issue is that if I have to go out of my way to deal with it and another player doesn't, then that other player has the natural advantage.

@hairygnome1787 Год назад

So many people reluctantly putting away their pitchforks until the next time. Great video, I agree with just about all you said. It is an impressive game overall, which I think benefits hugely simply from not being yet another game based on the same old genres.

@pnutbutrncrackers Год назад

Always appreciate hearing your reviews, Luke, and had looked forward to this one. You did your usual yeoman's work, and I think for the purpose I have in mind (playing it with my wife, who loves a Victorian theme & setting) Obsession will be a great acquisition. I thought maybe you would touch a little more specifically on the expansions and what they enhance, but perhaps that wasn't necessary. Again, thank you for giving this game your time and expert attention.

@TheBrokenMeeple Год назад

They are relatively small additions but if you enjoy the game you will like the expansions. One is just another player board anyway.

@srpad Год назад

For such a theme forward game I was surprised how fast the theme disappeared for me while we were playing. Very quickly I was just looking at the numbers and abilities on the cards and tiles and only looking at names when I needed to collect specific tiles.

@Poiuytrew.Q Год назад

@@Katoh64 I see the numbers and the abilities, but for me the theme is still present enough in Wingspan more so than Ark Nova.

@TheBrokenMeeple Год назад

Most Euro's can pan out to card names and math, but then what Euro's are you going to call thematic in that respect. The abilities and such have to still make sense to the theme, like how releasing animals into the wild works in Ark Nova as you mentioned it. Now some big euro hitters are certainly not very thematic (Great Western Trail, Concordia, Brass etc) but if a setting is at least interesting it does help to bring it out, even if it needs a helping hand from players.

@nirszi Год назад

Pitchforks down. I think it's a fair and very well made review. And not only because I'm part of the cult. Definitely the most thematic Euro I ever played.

@jamescartwright1150 Год назад

Quick! Light the torches and get the Pitchforks! 😉 .....Very good review of a game my family really enjoys. I don't find the luck that bad in this game as there are ways of mitigating it. If you have a minus VP character you often get a big reward from it and yes you have to spend a turn removing it from your deck but you've had the benefit from it which others have not. We always play with closed courtship as it makes the game more interesting. It takes us around one and a half to two hours for a 3 player game.

@jtt8886 Год назад

Most games have some luck. I think you can see it in this. But really, Everdell and Terraforming Mars and Arkham Horror: LCG and many others have a luck of the draw or roll element. Part of the game is your ability to make tactical decisions dealing with the random factors. A lot of people that play games like that element, because really that sort of serendipity is part of normal life we deal with every day. Not every game can be Gaia Project and as much as I like that, I wouldn't want that stoic, never random, approach in most games.

I love Obsession and it is in my top 10 for euros. I've only every played it two players with my wife. At this point, I always include Upstairs Downstairs and funny enough I went with the screening meeple last game and I thought it was really good but we had also played the long game so I feel the utility of it was likely higher. I like the additional options brought in with those additional meeples - like having the Useful man to let you get that one tile needed to complete an objective. We always play with the variant that has all the tiles cycle out after a courtship. In a two player game, this feels necessary to me. I agree with open courtship after trying the varieties. We do a starter guest draft and market for the level 1 guests (something like 5 cards to get, that don't replenish). I've not done anything with the promo cards nor tried the tamer point version.

Obsession is my favourite solo game so I hoped you wouldn't bash it since we very much disagree on Concordia 😀 I like that the solo mode has closed courtship, but yes, multiplayer open courtship is the way to go and I also always include the Queen Victoria variant. There is quite a lot of take that with the rumour mill and the stealing of staff (which is really thematic) but we play without them. I like both the standard and extended play, but wouldn't play this at more than 3 players. We use the head housemaid often for screening and my partner even uses her for prestige guests to get the best of the 2 good choices.

Agreed on the luck factor, I do find that for the length of the game, the rng is too high. If the game was like 90mins absolutely maximum, fine, but clocking 2 or 3 hours+ on such rng is not as enticing. Literally got shafted by drawing negative guests 3 times in a row towards an end of game. It didn't feel right after spending 3 hours playing.

I’m not really into lore, so the actual gameplay must be impeccable. Sadly Obsession game play is very boring, it feels like it’s on rails. I’ve been playing on BGA it’s not great, verging on bad for the actual game play. It’s incredibly repetitive, not enough good choices for the player. This game is nothing without the theme and players who are able to use their imaginations.
