Boardgaming 2022: the year of "point salad really isn't very filling"

Obsession is in alpha on BGA right now. I’m playing it, it’s quite a good implementation.

The game is actually not super complicated, but there’s a bit of interesting strategy in there. I know that because my one friend keeps beating us by ludicrous margins, so it can’t be all luck. The theme is… what it is, it’s not something I’m interested in, but the game does a good job with it.

It’s quite hard to learn from the rules, they make it seem way more complicated than it is (although there are some ‘special’ rooms that are quirky to figure out). But at heart it’s quite simple, you pick an activity, assign servants and guests, and take the rewards they give you. That’s pretty much it.
