New Features in the Second Printing
There are several new features in the second printing of Obsession:
Tile Numbering System
The builders’ market is populated with improvement tiles according to their rank. The sorting system in the first edition of Obsession proved non-intuitive and made setup, as well as in-game refreshing of the market, a daunting task. The 2nd printing of Obsession introduces a numbering system that eliminates the needs to memorize or look up the tile rankings.
Each tile now has a small number in the lower right quadrant. Tiles drawn for initial population or a market refresh are then placed in numerical order. Consider these six tiles drawn randomly from the tile bag during a market refresh; normally, the rank of these tiles (two service, two prestige rating 3, two prestige rating 5) would have to be looked up in the Glossary.
Player Board Upgrades: The player boards (family boards) have received a facelift. The Order of Play has been expanded to include a check of pre-turn events/actions, and the boards are now two-sided, one which has an intregral country estate organiser (pictured below).
Modified Extended Play Round Track: The Extended Play side of the original Round Track had the National Holiday located on round 17, which is not an ideal location. The Extended Play side will now feature the National Holiday on round 11, which greatly improves the flow of play.
Additional Enhancements to the game include:
Very good game!!
As always, timely delivery, and all in great shape. Thanks!
It shows that the creator put a lot of love into it. It’s very well done and he’s been active to better it through expansions.
Overall, a top notch production. Outstanding components. Dripping with theme and intrigue. This game may not be for everyone, but for those who get into the theme and go with it; you will not be disappointed. In my opinion, a must have for your collection.
My wife and I love this game! Great theme, and the components are all very well produced. Total winner!
