Interesting little epxnasion

Brings some good variability into the game- I would recommend. Also fits easily in the box with the main game- which was excellent!

Great little expansion

Adds enough to be worth the effort (variability) but not so much it makes it a labour to integrate- recommended!

Small adds more expansion

Adds another family to Obsession, giving a bit of variety (worth it for this), but nothing major.

More for Obsession fans

I'm a big fan of Obsession, and picked up the expansion after just a few plays. If you like Obsession, Wessex will add more variety to your visitor decks and initial family choice and so add more replayability to your game. Having said that, i'd have liked to have seen something new - a new game concept, 5th player option, or maybe new improvement tiles. As it stands, i'm happy with Wessex, especially at the price, but it feels more like a couple of Kickstarter stretch goals bundled together, rather than a fully fledged expansion.

OVERVIEW

FIRST EXPANSION FOR THE OBSESSION BOARD GAME: This expansion requires the Obsession Board Game (base game) to play. It increases variety by adding a new family, additional guests, new tiles, and solo play options.

WHAT IT CONTAINS: The Wessex expansion adds a fifth family board that gives the advantage of a larger starting country estate. A player selecting the Family Wessex player board will have their choice between a Breakfast Room and Tennis Court—second level improvements—in his or her manor house at the beginning of the game. The expansion also adds five additional Starter Guests, five additional Casual Guests, five additional Prestige Guests, and six new solo opponents that enable extended play.

NEW IN THE 2nd PRINTING: Unique to the second printing (indicated by the words DELUXE 2nd PRINTING on the front of the box) are two new improvement tiles: The Morning Room and Retiring Room.

SOLO PLAY: This expansion adds six unique solo opponents for use in extended play.

NOTE: This game does not enable 5 players. The Upstairs, Downstairs expansion enables 5 and 6 players. 

 1-4 PLAYERS  |  30-90 MINS  |  AGES 13+
