- A playthrough of Obsession 2nd Edition and Wessex 2nd Edition only, using the base game rules. Upstairs, Downstairs is not used in this video. First and second seasons.
I saw this game and wanted it awhile back but it wasn’t available then. Last Mother’s Day my son surprised me with it. Really fun game! I got Upstairs Downstairs for my birthday! Even MORE fun! My son is quite the gamer so he usually wins but I am improving each game and give him a run for his money! Our most recent game, we both had the highest scores ever and the most money at the end of the game. Thanks for making such a delightful game!
My pleasure!
Grat video - thanks. Played german version these days solo and was wondering me about the guests which have i - so as the lady in minute 22 a minus of 3 prestige - i thought i have to pay that to invite this gurtest as i have to pay money for the poor guests
Thats new to me and a great information - thank you - this game is WOW played 11 solo plays the last 2 weeks :-D
This is the best how to play video for this game 👍 Thanks so much.
Thanks!
We have now played 20 games of 2E - and are about to add UD into the mix. In my opinion it has now the best game in our collection (which is not small) and will one day overtake Wingspan as our most played (that’s 200 games - so won’t be soon) and Puerto Rico too. The design is elegant, the mechanics simple and the layers of strategy monumental. Plus it looks beautiful on the table. Well done Dan
You made my day!
My wife and I finally took out the time to play our first game of Obsession yesterday on her birthday. It was the thing she wanted to do most for her special day. We both loved it. So thank you for making such an outstanding game.
Thank you! Great to hear. Happy Birthday to your wife. :)
Dan!! Tonight was the third time I played through my gorgeous new copy and it finally clicked and I love it SO so So much! Such a fun game, I had a great time giggling about the admirer’s bonus when I sent Lady Eleanor our for afternoon tea with Charles Fairchild and all my high reputation events later in the game... it’s all so high quality and wonderful AND I love love love my tiny theme and VP cards lol. Thank you for the wonderful game, I can’t wait to play it with more people and solo it again 😊😍💃🏼
Thank you, Kim! I appreciate the kind words.
Note: I do a lot of editing and sometimes explanations get edited out. I banked the £500 for York at the end of Season 2 to take advantage of a double turn and get the Manor Gargoyle monument.
I ordered Obsession 2nd Edition, Wessex 2nd Edition Expansion, Upstairs, Downstairs Expansion, Obsession Useful Box, and the Promotional Tiles Expansion. All should be delivered by end of 2021. In the meantime I watch all Obsession videos which I can find on CZcams.
I highly appreciate your videos and I like the way how you explain what you do and why.
I'm also happy that you mentioned the Nanty Narking coins because I own the game and the coin set which I can use then for two games.
The coins are perfect!
Great video! Just finished my first game of Obsession. But now I can't stop calling them "Evil York".
Ha! Not as bad as Warleggan (from Poldark).
Just a note to let you know how helpful I find these playthrough’s, Dan. I received the game this past week and have four solo plays in already. The game flows so well. So impressed with your design. Tip of my hat to you, sir...
Thank you! Conclusion to this video coming soon...
@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 Still looking forward to the conclusion to this one, Dan! Just received the 2nd edition from BGB. Wow! Impressed. I'm going to keep my 1st edition though and move it to my cottage in the country! Lol. Well, Gulf Island actually but the sentiment is the same. No servants for me though. Not that posh..... Cheers.
@@hunterschoolemails6084 This weekend, I promise!
Thank you so much for this. Your intro was spot on.
6:05 Love your display of the boxes (and the U,D bag).
the bit of strategy about the Heiress eliminating the need for Village Planning and why you picked up the 2 point sporting tile is great stuff
32:00 I don't have a hearing aid or reading glasses yet (I do have glasses), but I totally relate to falling apart with age. :D
51:00 I would have dismissed Anne Hawkins (American Heiress) instead of a screened invite. You've managed to use her twice and are behind in reputation. Unlikely to be able to comfortably use her again.
QUESTION: at 32:10 into the video how were you able to pull the footman from the servants quarters? Did I miss something??
I am very smooth at cheating. Ahhh! I missed this. I think I thought I had the Servants' Quarters. Good catch. I also might have planned to use a Special Action. This is why I am a bad player when filming; walking and chewing gum is not my strength.
@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 oh ok!! We played for the first time last night and I rewatched this for the 3rd time bc we had some questions. I just caught this “slight” of hand!!” Lol We loved the game, playing again today!!
@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 the people on the cards; are the photographs of real people or are r get computer generated?!
At 44:45, York paid 200 pounds for the Retiring Room, but it should only have cost 100 pounds (300-200).
Thanks! I find walking (filming) and chewing gum (playing) to very hard sometimes!
Is there a video that will show the rest of the game?
Yes: czcams.com/video/XrB16DcvSlI/video.html
I am familiar with the Nanty Narking coins, what are the other ones? As much as I love the Nanty Narking ones, I feel they should be heavier: to me they kinda feel... hollow.
The others are actual pence and, for the GOLD, replica sovereigns. It was a creation of a backer who wanted to thank me. Not a commercial product. I might recommend the Viticulture coins, which I used for years with Obsession (much meatier).
32:10 How were you able to use a servant from the servant's quarters? Don't you have to reduce your reputation by 3 to do that?
Because I am a very good cheater? Sorry, I think I had in my brain that Ponsonby had the Servants' Quarters. Good catch!
@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 Ok cool, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious. These playthroughs you do are absolutely wonderful. The way you play, narrate and present the gameplay is simply perfect. Thanks for posting these!
This was very useful and I look forward to the remaining seasons! Question: could you give me a page reference for the actions that take place at the end of each season (discard objective card and rotate player marker)? I can't seem to find it in the glossary and rule book. (I, too, have glasses and hearing aids!)
The two call outs on Page 3 (italics). I've had justifiable criticism that these rules are not located in the best place. My apologies! I have already started correcting that in my new edit of the rulebook for the next printing. Thanks.
@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 Oh yes, so it is. I scoured that book! ah well!
@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 Thank you!
Such a fun, and educational, playthrough. Two not especially respectable households however around those parts of Derbyshire though! Too many scandals perhaps..
What’s our eta on Season 3, kind sir?
I have the video shot, but it will probably be next week, late.
Where you got these metal coins?
They are Nanty Narking coins, which are no longer available.
Ok dan I’m about to watch and try to figure out this game but I can’t focus . Where do you get those coins? Lol
They are Nanty Narking coins, available online at a number of sites: www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=Nanty+Narking+Game+Metal+Coins
Where can I find this game to buy? It looks so good!!
Where are you located?

Love the concept of this game, we got the 2nd edition kickstarter, looking for a nice tutorial. Consider reaching out to WatchItPlayed for added exposure and an exceptional teach.
Contacted Rodney before he joined BGG, and we couldn't make that happen. Don't want to do it now because I am running out of games in the US and have none in Europe. After the next printing, I will try again!
