RECOMMENDED: Kayenta Games-Unboxing the Useful Box

[@masterbridgemaster1]

Dan, your dedication to customer service and to perfection in your product is literally second to none. Honestly, I mean that. I sincerely thank you for all of your hard work and your excellent communication. I have dealt with hundreds of publishers and KS projects (both big and small) for many years, and I have not found one up to your level of classiness and genuine goodwill to your customers. You have a fan for life in me, and I will not hesitate to "instabuy" anything you offer.

[@DominikSchwindt]

I' d like to second every letter of this.

[@ladymuir]

Count me in too!

[@marciapeterson9723]

I agree wholeheartedly

[@BrettspielDude]

I truly admire your humble stance! Thanks so much for such a wonderful and rich game! And thanks too for the attention to detail! Very welcome

[@bung1975]

This is amazing! You have gone so far above and beyond with everything! I am so excited to get my Useful Box!

[@bendutoit5371]

So much efford and attention to detail. Love it. One day I will have my own copy of this game

[@reneeharris2989]

As always, you've gone above and beyond, and I'm so excited to get my Useful Box!! Thank you, Dan!

[@OSB911]

Looking forward to giving you my money! :-) Thank you for taking care of those bags!

[@brendanriley5145]

Can't wait! Thanks for the great video.

[@BoardgamesforOne]

That’s awesome that more people can get their hands on this now. Cant wait to get my hands on even more gameplay and make more stories.

[@ThinkerThemer]

🙌🙌 so exciting! Thank you Dan!

I just did my late pledge for Obsession Characters and ordered the base game and all things Obsession on your Website and ordered Wessex from Australia. However, when I was looking at BGG I came across the Useful Box and then discovered that you state that Useful Box is not longer available. I'm wondering if this is because of the Obsessions Characters Kickstarter or some other reason? Thanks in advance for your response. I'm a completionist so "need" the Useful Box. 🙂

[@kayentagamesdanhallagan856]

Everything in the Useful Box is now contained in Upstairs, Downstairs & Characters.

[@TheTinnman]

@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 Thanks for the quick reply. I got a notification that the The base game, Upstairs, Downstairs & Characters and the Promotional bundle, has shipped. I loved the bag you showed in the video about Robert's insert for the game. So I am going back and forth with an Etsy creator to get something on that order. I have asked her to put a Large Coat of Arms Lion on one side, and on the other a single Fleur de Lis at the top with two near the bottom and a scripted Obsession in between them on a blue material back ground. I'm excited to bling this out. I also have the Meeple Source meeples book marked and am waiting to hear if they are working on meeples for the new Characters expansion. Yes, your assessment about the dangers of Obsession were not understated. But when the new kickstarter ships in the fall I will have all things Obsession along with all the bling that is to be had. The only question that remains is, when is the next expansion Kickstarting? 🙂

[@arisultanik]

Thank you for all your efforts. What a fantastic production! I have the Base game and the Wessex expansion. How can I get Upstairs Downstairs, the Promotional tiles and the Useful box shipped to Israel? This is one of my favourite games, and I would love to have a complete set. Thank you.

Received Obsession yesterday. Everything is high quality. The game play is enjoyable. Have you listened to The Beatles Mr. Kite? It mentions Pablo Fanques! The song is on SGT Peppers Lonely Hearts Club.

[@kayentagamesdanhallagan856]

I have! There was a very good BGB thread about this: boardgamegeek.com/thread/2647648/article/37570113#37570113

[@mrsemmas12]

I have the 2.1E and want to purchase the newest Upstairs Downstairs expansion pack. Do I need the Useful box? Are the Business Room and West Terrace tiles in newest Upstairs Downstairs?

[@kayentagamesdanhallagan856]

No, the new tiles/cards are not in the Upstairs, Downstairs box.

[@Puddleford]

@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 Hi Dan, I as well have 2.1E and already have the newest U D. To expand on the question above, do I need the useful box for any corrections? Thanks, loving the game! 😊

[@kayentagamesdanhallagan856]

@@Puddleford The Useful Box and the game copies you have we’re all manufactured at the same time. So any corrections that the Useful Box offers are already included in your copies. You don’t need it.

[@Puddleford]

@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 Awesome, thanks! The only downside is we had to get Britbox after playing the game😂

Just played Obsession , became Obsessed!!!! I want to buy upstairs downstairs, can't find anywhere in Canada. where to buy????

BoardGameBliss. www.boardgamebliss.com/search?type=product&q=NOT+tag%3A__gift+AND+Obsession*&product_type= He is showing SOLD OUT now, but he has a new shipment already across the border. Contact them about getting in a preorder.

[@DominikSchwindt]

Great stuff as always with Kayenta Games! Thank you Dan!! Now how to order the useful box? Also, I would love to see the new marked objective cards being able to be bought separately.

[@kayentagamesdanhallagan856]

That was a tough decision. Most who I surveyed reported that they don't use the OC from the base game as they have integrated everything. Many had already put a dot or discreet mark on the card. Given the cost, I chose not to. Apologies!

[@DominikSchwindt]

@@kayentagamesdanhallagan856 No apologies needed Dan! I perfectly understand your reasoning. I just buy the 6th printing when my copy is worn out. :-)

[@tribbleorlfl]

Wow, seriously you could teach a master class on customer service.

[@tychay]

One interesting thing about the Business Room is if there is an Essentials theme, you can leave the money to invest/accumulate through the theme for the 1VP before cashing out and losing a VP.

[@kayentagamesdanhallagan856]

Yes, good eye! Cashing it out at the wrong time could cost you.

[@apollonia6656]

Cannot find it anywhere in the UK. Anyhow, £60 ( or so I believe it will cost ) is a lot of money when things are more important 😕 I will dream on 😴

One of my biggest motivators for the Useful Box was the bags. Just not acceptable to ignore that problem.

dan youre incredible!

[@booklover2285]

Awesome! Will the game itself be coming back in stock?

[@kayentagamesdanhallagan856]

The current production run is done, and the games will be shipping in about 3 weeks. I expect games to arrive and be in stock in late October. When inventory is available, I will communicate exactly where people can order, I will post on BoardGameGeek, send out a Kickstarter Update, and post it on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In the US, I am not taking pre-orders, but in October, the Useful Box will be available on my Shopify site.

[@booklover2285]

Awesome, thank you!
