John and Katherine Smythe – Viscount and Viscountess Wessex – look on with envy at the new activity throughout Derbyshire. Their Jacobean manor is one of the largest and oldest in the county and has been particularly difficult to maintain during lean years. The family has already had to sell off productive lands twice to avoid an even more drastic fate. The Wessex family owns the largest estate of all families. They start the game with an additional expansion tile. In addition to the new Wessex family for more variety, the expansion also includes new expansions, noble cards, and solo opponents. This expansion cannot be played without the base game Obsession.
