Obsession: Upstairs, Downstairs

About this expansion

Obsession: Upstairs, Downstairs is an expansion for Obsession for 1–6 players, with a listed play time of 90 minutes. Released in 2020, it broadens the game with new servants, families, guests, tiles, and ways to play.

Four new servants join the household: the Hall Boy, Cook, Head Housemaid, and Useful Man. These servants can help mitigate the effects of Victorian Fate found in the base game, adding new ways to manage its challenges.

The expansion also enables games with five and six players and introduces the Howard family, complete with their legendary cook. New service and improvement tiles expand the available estate options, while a substantial selection of casual and prestige guests brings more variety to the guest pool.

• Screen guests and work around prestige limitations.
• Find tiles and refresh the market more easily.
• Enhance favors early in the game.
• Use new servants to mitigate Victorian Fate.

Upstairs, Downstairs includes three additional game modes. Solo Estate Challenge provides a solo format, while Team Cooperative Play offers a cooperative experience for teams. Tableau Obsession adds another way to approach the game.

With expanded player support, new household roles, the Howard family, and a wide range of additional content, Obsession: Upstairs, Downstairs gives fans of the base game more guests, improvements, and formats to explore.
