Tea?

The gaming group wanted to play Obsession so I got enlisted to teach it and then play.  The rulebook is a verbose 50 pages, unnecessarily so - I've boiled it down to four.

Obsession is the story/game of down-on-there-luck stately-home families competing to attract the attentions of the eligible offspring of the rich neighbours - generally by having the Right People in your circle, and putting on events such as Afternoon Tea with said Right People.
