## Overview

Le Havre is a sophisticated city-building strategy board game for 1-5 players aged 12+, featuring 30-150 minute sessions. Players manage resources, upgrade goods, and invest in buildings and ships to grow their fortune. With deep strategic layers and dynamic player interaction, it offers a compelling experience for both solo and group play, making it a must-have for serious board game enthusiasts.

## Description

In Le Havre, a player's turn consists of two parts: First, distribute newly supplied goods onto the offer spaces; then take an action. As an action, players may choose either to take all goods of one type from an offer space or to use one of the available buildings. Building actions allow players to upgrade goods, sell them or use them to build their own buildings and ships. Buildings are both an investment opportunity and a revenue stream, as players must pay an entry fee to use buildings that they do not own. Ships, on the other hand, are primarily used to provide the food that is needed to feed the workers. After every seven turns, the round ends: players' cattle and grain may multiply through a Harvest, and players must feed their workers. After a fixed number of rounds, each player may carry out one final action, and then the game ends. Players add the value of their buildings and ships to their cash reserves. The player who has amassed the largest fortune is the winner.

Review: This game is an evening killer but addicting. My current go-to for a longer game. Very simple core mechanics but many expanding options. I typically don't like sandboxy type games but this is an exception because your choices are still meaningful. It never feels like a bunch of meaningless variability to me. Prepare yourself for a 2 - 4 hour long session but the turns move at a nice pace and hold interest. Even the short versions are marked about 30 minutes shy of how they play out. Excellent solo game too. I believe with this one you can play some accounting on far out decisions so you can really grind on it. There are a ridiculous amount of pieces and you will want some small bowls to contain the little tiles unless you really feel like stacking them all but overall it doesn't feel too fiddly despite the numerous pieces and constant piling. My biggest complaint is the theme. It's weird. Maybe I'm not familiar with the history of Le Havre but why do you have to feed your workers? Why do boats help feed them? And what exactly are you anyway? The best I can imagine is your family works together over several generations as developers with further ties in investments, the offerings as fluctuating demands you can engage in. I guess the boats can be used to hold private stock of food. For some reason the details in this one just irritate me which is odd because I usually don't care much about theme.
Review: This is a well-designed game. Collect goods. Upgrade those goods at buildings. Buy or Build buildings that let you do more things with goods. Eventually, ship the goods. You are invested in other people's turns, since even if they get buildings you can use them (for a fee usually). So it helps everyone out. And if people use your buildings, you get money! It is so thematic with the town buildings coming into play, and you building your own buildings, and ships coming in. I've played at 2p and 3p and it's wonderful at both counts. I'm so glad they reprinted it, it was selling at insane prices before that. Each time, I've spent hours thinking about the game afterwards. Lingering things, actions, strategies, or just the cool artwork. Get this game. It's special.

Great game. Easy to learn if you play any modern board games. We got it because it is a modern classic but also because it’s fun whether there are two players or four.
