Obsession: Characters Expansion

CHARACTERS: Introduces true worker placement in the form of the Constable, Reverend, and Dowager Marchioness, which enables players to exchange objective cards, run off unsavoury guests, and recruit prestige guests.

SECOND CHANCE SERVANTS: Who needs references? You can easily hire intoxicated, flirtatious, and clumsy servants to allow you to pull off huge activities…but there are consequences.

DISTINGUISHED FAMILY MEMBERS: Players can customise their family by replacing 1 or 2 of their ordinary family members with distinguished family members who have new, enhanced favours.

FULL COOPERATIVE PLAY: A malevolence has cast a shadow over the Derbyshire hills. It is rumoured that the disreputable, mercantile Sneyd family, formerly of Staffordshire, is on the rise, leveraging newly ill-gotten wealth in a quest to form an alliance with the Fairchilds of Alderley Hall. The local upstanding families have united in opposition to the grasping Sneyd clan, declaring that they shall rally together to defend Derbyshire honour! For 2 or 3 players.

UNIVERSAL OBJECTIVE CARD DECK: A deck of 52 objectives (including 22 new ones) that permanently replaces the two current objective card decks.

TWENTY-EIGHT NEW GENTRY: With new types and novel favours including 20 prestige guests, which are in demand at higher player counts.

FOURTEEN NEW SOLO OPPONENTS: For standard play and extended play, with Upstairs, Downstairs, Characters, and/or just the base game. Top end incredibly difficult opponents for those who need a challenge.

VARIANT CATALOGUE: Official, 20-page rulebook with 14 new modes of play.

PONY & TRAP PROMOTIONAL TILE: Designed by Tony Boydell, this tile allows you to use tiles in the tableau of other players.

COINS NOTE: This expansion does not contain the Obsession Metal Coins; they are sold separately.
