I LOVE obsession, my friends and I have been playing a ton of games. Currently, I am the only premium member, so I always make the games. It feels like I ALWAYS pick the family last... is this the case, or have I just been unlucky with the random number generator?

I’ve noticed very long spans of games where I’m assigned first player. Never counted, but seemingly 6-8 times in a row. Should be a coin flip, so I’d say if you have gone more than that, something’s up. It might be selecting you by default which is a bug imo.

Let's see, your 12 Obsession games, from oldest to newest, all 3-player games except where noted:

1. You picked 2nd
2. Cancelled before picking.
3. You picked 3rd
4. You picked 2nd
5. You picked 1st
6. You picked 2nd
7. You picked 3rd
8. You picked 3rd
9. You picked 3rd
10. You picked 3rd
11. You picked 4th (of 4)
12. You picked 3rd

So, even though in your latest 6 games you picked last, it's not true that you ALWAY pick last.
