Another brilliant play through with perfect pacing and theme storytelling. I prefer the way you communicate because of the way in which you give your reasoning while at the same time enhancing the game's theme. Almost any new game I try comes from one of your lists because I know if you like it, I most likely will. (Robinson Crusoe has a permanent table in my house where I'm at least playing a round or 2 per week). Thanks so much Shaggi!
Thank you for those compliments, Stephanie. I try to remind myself before filming to articulate my thought process and I do a better job of that on some videos than others. I sometimes get overly focused on the rules explanation side of things and forget to inject my strategy observations or personality. Hopefully the videos are somewhat consistent. I'm happy you enjoyed this playthrough, and I'm glad you find the channel valuable. Awesome to hear RC has been a hit! Some of my most memorable gaming experiences have come from that game. Thanks again and I hope you have a fun day!
I'm glad it helped, SherD! If you have any questions while you play, don't hesitate to ask. I know the game fairly well, so I can probably help. Hope you have great play! And thanks for checking out the video!
My pleasure AG. The solo mode is great. It largely gets out of the way and lets you focus on the good stuff. Let us know how you like it. Thanks for watching and commenting!
That really means a lot to me. Thanks so much for that kind comment. I'm always trying to find ways to make these videos as entertaining and informative as I can. Hopefully I'll continue to improve. Thanks again for watching!
@@TotallyTabled you really deserve it. Of course I will watch the following parts. I ordered Obsession, Upstairs, Downstairs, Wessex Expansion, Useful Box, and Promotional Tiles and hope to receive all by end of 2021.
@@edifanobbonafide Nice! Hope you enjoy it. You reminded me I need to order the Useful Box. I want to do a playthrough with Upstairs, Downstairs sometime soon. Cheers!
Just stumbled on this channel looking for help learning Obsession solo and immediately love what you are doing. Your video is so clear and well explained, and definitely gives me something to aim for on my own channel. Subscribed!
Hey, thanks so much Purple! I really appreciate your comments and the sub! I hope the video helps. Obsession is such a fun game solo. Every play I've enjoyed it more. Let me know if I can help at all. Thanks again!
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped Kayma. It is such an excellent game, especially after a few plays when everything gels. Have fun and thanks for watching my video!
I'm so happy you found my video helpful. Those are Iron Clay poker chips from Roxley Games. I believe you can get them from their website. They feel as good as they look. I use them in every game if I can. Thanks for watch!
@@Suzanne2609 Thanks Suzanne! I have a few sets of Iron Clays, both 100 for travel and a 200 set that I use at home. Usually the 100 set is all I need for board games. Thanks for watching!
It’s almost going to be a year since you posted for this collection for Obsession! Whoohoo! Could I suggest an anniversary solo play through collection with the Upstairs and Downstairs expansion? 🙏🍒🍨
That is a great idea, Cathleen. I have a bunch of games I want to film, but Obsession is one I would really like to get back on the channel. I'll see what I can do once I get fully healed up. Thanks for watching the playthrough!
This is currently my favorite game. My wife loves it, my daughter loves it, and I love playing it solo as well. Such an interesting combination of mechanics that you would never think would work together, but they form a delightful soup of thematic gameplay that is hard to turn down when someone asks to play. My wife and I even enjoyed the co-op mode and the estate mode. Have you played with the Upstairs/Downstairs expansion yet?
I played once with the upstairs/downstairs and I really liked it, but I also like the base game alone. Not sure yet, I need to play the expansion many more times to get a good feel. I plan to do a playthrough of the expansion at some point, because this is one of my favorite games as well. Finding a game that the whole family loves is always a great feeling! Thanks so much Peter!
Sure thing! Those are Iron Clays from Roxley Games. I believe you can order them from their website and some online board game stores. I got mine during a Kickstarter campaign awhile back, so I'm not exactly sure where they sell them now. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Ha, pretty much the exact opposite of horror, but hopefully you'll enjoy it. I find managing the various different guests, servants and activities to be a really fun puzzle. I hope my video didn't lead you astray! Thanks for watching, Cody!
Great playthrough, thanks. Just come to this game as it was sold out in the UK for a while and had to wait for reprint. Excuse me for being a little pedantic but did I hear you say that used Staff aren't available for 2 turns? I think it is only one as they move back once at the start of your next turn so are available straight away after the 2nd turn.
Very nice video. Thanks for making it. Small thing: When you draw the second Retiring Room from the bag (very early in the game) shouldn't it go on top of the first identical tile and you draw another one? This is a very nice little puzzle game with card building and a cool theme :D It gets even better with the Upstairs - Downstairs expansion .

Good question Oblowsky. It says 2E on the box so I guess that means second edition. Is there a difference between the editions? Thanks for checking out the video!
Love the Elizabeth Fairchild interludes 😂
I'm just happy I finally get to show off my talents as a voice actor. 🤣 Move over Matthew Mercer!
Great playthrough! Calm and so easy to follow.
I'm obsessed to your channel!

Fantastic video production! We’ll done, thoroughly entertaining! 🤓

Great job on the teach and playthrough! I think I'm ready to give it a go!

Thankyou so much for the tutorial,been loving this game with 2 players now I can try solo

Such an entertaining playthrough! Also I feel like you’d like rococco based on theme and mechanics
Just found your channel. Thank you for the amazing solo content!
Thank you for watching! Happy New Year!
amazing playthrough! You made me buy another game, yet again :))
Sorry about that. I do love this game so hopefully you won't regret the purchase! Thanks for watching!
Glad to have stumbled upon your channel. Great content. Keep it up! :)
Hey, thanks a bunch Ryan. I hope you continue to enjoy the channel into the future!
Excellent video series! Really helped me to learn the game.
Awesome! I'm so glad it helped Kayma. It is such an excellent game, especially after a few plays when everything gels. Have fun and thanks for watching my video!
Thanks for the solo playthrough series. I just got this for Christmas. Want to try is solo before I play it with my game group.
I'm so happy it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope you enjoy the game. Happy holidays!
Thank you for the play through! Super helpful when setting up my solo run. Where did you get those beautiful poker chips?!

Seems like your theme cards and VP cards are larger than the ones in the box... did you get those from somewhere?
That's a good question. I believe I got them from the expansion but I cannot remember at the moment. Thanks for watching!
Yes, it's the Upstairs Downstairs expansion that adds the larger cards.@@TotallyTabled

Hey there. Thank you for the solo walkthrough. Can you tell us where you got those poker chips? What kind they are?

I am a predominantly a horror/rpg solo gamer that would have no interest in this what so ever. I am now looking to buy a copy because of your video 😂

Which version of the game is this? Thank you
Good question Oblowsky. It says 2E on the box so I guess that means second edition. Is there a difference between the editions? Thanks for checking out the video!
Hi, in the rules, it states the solitaire player is always the starting player. But your video, you play first.
Ah my bad, turns out the solitaire player is in fact myself. 🤣
Ha, yeah. That is strange wording. Thanks for watching!
12:20 hahhaahah😂
“Part one”??? That’s not a good sign… 😅
