Obsession
When I pass, do the round track, monuments, Servants' Hall and other passive tile effects still happen?
The rulebook's Passing rules say step 2 still applies, and the designer confirmed monuments and the Hall plus the National Holiday exception.
Yes. The round track icon, monument reputation and the Servants' Hall all still apply on a pass. Base game only: the only difference from an Upstairs, Downstairs pass is the hire action. National Holiday does not help a pass, because it only affects activities.
