This has got to be among the clearest and most helpful tutorials I've encountered (for Obsession or probably any other game). Well done! Thanks for doing it.

I just want to take a second to appreciate Tarrant's care for placing cards, tiles and meeples in precisely straight, equidistant, centered, orthogonal ways that make the presentation clearly visible and extremely soothing for OCD people like me!
Carefully prepared examples and efficiently and beautifully presented. Thank you so much!

Immediate subscription to your channel!! You're the first channel that has actually a comfortable pace when explaining rules!! Some other channels seem to think our brains are running on constant Red Bulls!! Thank You for investing time and effort to make this video!!

[RichardHaywardMelbourne]

Incredibly valuable video for learning how to play. It's clear and entertaining.

Fantastic job explaining the rules! Obsession is so great, but the rule book is a little daunting the first time you open it, this video definitely helped make more sense of it!

[alicemoore]

Just ordered Obsession from the publisher, Kayenta. They recommended this video as a guide to the base game. Played this with some friends. It was a lot of fun.

Thank you so much for this! :-) I was finding the rule book overwhelming and things just weren't 'clicking' in my brain.

[inehoeben]

Got this game yesterday and the rulebook was a little bit much for me, but your video explained perfectly! Many thanks!

[andrewuk]

Great tutorial! This really helps to skip the rulebook and get to the game quickly. Well presented and well structured.

[pixxelwizzard]

Love you guys! When I saw your video at the top of the YT search, it was an insta-click. I own this game, but I'm playing it for the first time at a board game convention this weekend. Now I'm primed and ready to go. Thanks!

[MrNotfiman]

Thank you for creating this how to play video. You explain it so perfectly and make it so much easier for people to get straight into playing the game.

[brandondwaite]

This is so helpful. Thank you for the time and energy you put into making a clear, concise overview. I just bought the game, and already feel prepared for my first play.

Question: was there a mistake at 12:10? There is a guest at level 6 participating in a level 4 activity. Was it only for the sake of the VP card example?

[lucasmccarthy]

One of our favorite games! Makes it to the table far more than most in our library.

[carlyfetzer]

Thanks so much for this thorough yet concise explanation!

[mannyuk]

Beautifully presented and informative.

Now the fact that I live in Derbyshire means I have to get this game! 💚

[bongoclive]

Thanks for the video! If I'd been limited to the book, I'm not sure I'd have got the game to the table, it's a shambles of a book
