Product Information

A: Yes, it does. Playing on iOS by yourself you can choose either to play against AI opponents or play a 1-player game.

Round Cards: Turn the Round cards to the "Harvest" (or "No Harvest") side, sort them by Round number for the appropriate number of players, and place them face-up on the Round card space on game board 3, with the card for Round 1 on top of the pile. The table on the Round cards shows the card's Round number for different numbers of players; cards without a Round number in the appropriate row are removed from the game). The town of Le Havre has the second biggest harbor of France (the biggest one is in Marseille). Apart from the size, Le Havre has a very interesting name, too. The name was adopted from Dutch and means nothing else than The Harbor. However, the French like their language best (at least that's what the cliché says) and nowadays the call the town Le Port (which, again, means The Harbor). However, many players who played Le Havre after Agricola preferred Le Havre. It lasts longer and gives players more time to accomplish their goals. In comparison to Agricola, Le Havre is a more varied game, although it has fewer cards and simpler game mechanics. FAQThe fourth and fifth lines show which Ship card will be introduced to the game when the Round card is turned over: for example, "2" and "Wood" means a Wooden ship with a value of 2 Francs. When players build ships, they receive Food production tokens that indicate the amount of food they receive each round from their Ship cards. No, if you want to be able to read the cards, handle lots of quality game pieces, and prefer in-person interactions. Le Havre is a board game about the development of the town of Le Havre. It was inspired by the games Caylus and Agricola and was developed in December 2007.

A: The rule book states the following: 1 player – 60 minutes, 2 players – 120 minutes, 3 players – 180 minutes, 4 players – 200 minutes, 5 players – 210 minutes. Of course, the time strongly depends on how familiar with the rules all the players are. If there are new players who do not know how to play the game, the time may increase largely. Use our convenient matchmaking service to challenge players of your skill level globally or play locally with a friend. You can also defeat one of the different computer opponents with varying difficulty. Goods and Food tokens: Place the tokens with goods and food on their Supply spaces. There is no need to place every token on these spaces; the majority can be left in the game box and added as needed.A: Le Havre is designed so that it could be enjoyed by a single player. The benefit is you can spend as much time as you want thinking about every turn. New buildings can be built using the "Construction Firm" and the two "Building Firms". At the start of the game, these buildings are owned by the town. A player who enters one of these buildings can build any of the top buildings in the Building Proposals area by paying the building costs of the new building. Le Havre is an economic strategy board game. The gameplay takes place in the harbour of Le Havre (The Harbour), a port city in Northwest France. Talking of the little square tokens… There are eight different types of basic resources to be exact, and every one of them can be upgraded (by visiting the appropriate building). Cattle, for example, is a basic resource that you can claim on one of the jetties. One visit to the abattoir later, however, and you’ve converted it into both meat and animal hides (the latter of which can then be converted to the more valuable leather). Once done, you simply flip the tile(s) over, with the superior resource on the reverse. Every single one of them is doubled-sided. Round overview: In each game, only one Round overview card is used, which corresponds to the number of players. One side gives the overview for the full version and the reverse for the shortened version.

You’ll often find when people begin describing Le Havre, they’ll open with something along the lines of, ‘This is an Uwe Rosenberg game…’During a Supply action, new goods are placed on the corresponding Offer space. Then the player may either take all the goods from one of the seven Offer spaces or use a building action. Most buildings allow you to take a specific action. You can turn raw goods into their refined counterparts, ship goods off, convert goods of one type into another, build ships and so on. Le Havre provides a very satisfying gaming experience for someone who likes economic strategies. The variety of possible tactics used by players and combinations of the cards is so rich the game does not become dull even after you have played it several times. There are no clear instructions on how to win the game: even for an experienced player every turn of Le Havre holds so many possibilities the best one is never obvious. A player's turn consists of two Mandatory actions as well as optional Additional actions. Players must carry out first a Supply action and then a Main action. Additional actions are Buying and Selling, which may be carried out at any time during the player's turn. I. Suppy Action What I like about this game is that (so far) it’s a game you don’t win easily; you really have to take on your “thinking cap” and execute a good strategy to be able to do ok at all. This is a challenging game, but I wont give up until I’ve broken the ‘code’ so that I’ll win more than loose:)
