Expansion for Base-game
Since 2021, Obsession: Useful Box has captivated fans of worker placement and deck building with its medium-light complexity design.
How It Plays
Deck, Bag, and Pool Building
You start with a basic set of cards or tokens and gradually add better ones — watch your engine grow stronger over time.
Solo / Solitaire Game
You can play this one all by yourself — perfect for a quiet evening when you want a fun challenge on your own.
Tile Placement
You lay tiles on the table to build a map, landscape, or pattern — every piece you place changes the board.
Worker Placement
You place your workers on action spaces to claim them before anyone else — it's a scramble for the best spots!
