Where it came from
Obsession was designed by Dan Hallagan and published in 2018 through his company, Kayenta Games. Inspired by the social dynamics and rigid class structures of the Victorian era, Hallagan sought to capture the intricate management of a landed gentry estate. The game was developed during a period of growing interest in thematic Eurogames, aiming to blend engine-building mechanics with historical flavor rather than relying solely on abstract point-scoring systems.
The game features distinctive period-inspired artwork and meticulous research into the language and etiquette of the 19th-century British aristocracy. Upon its release, it was lauded by the hobbyist community for its thematic depth and the way the board mechanics mirror the pressure of hosting prestigious social events. It has since become recognized as a modern classic within the genre of historical strategy gaming.
