Description Edit | History

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.

Le Havre was released by Lookout Games October 2008 in German and Australian English.

14 Building Quick Reference
Full page front and back. Standard buildings on page 1. Special buildings on page 2. A Superscript next to a building name indicates the building is only used for certain player numbers. A value in parentheses is for the shortened game. No parentheses means the value is for the full game and shortened game. Standard goods are colored blue. Upgraded goods are colored purple.

161 JLeHavre 1.0
[b]This is the official computer game of Le Havre![/b] This is a compiled set of patches for the basic executable Le Havre files. This zip archive does not work on its own. You need to replace all of the original files with their replacement files in this archive. Any files that are not included with this archive were not subject to change and must stay untouched. There have been bugfix archives published earlier to this file that have already contained some of the files included with this archive. To be 100% sure that you have the latest files, copy all of these files here into their proper folders. Here are the changes/bugfixed that have been made: - The [b]Arts Centre[/b] had a bad algorithm to calculate the amount of money you'd get. Rather than to count the amount of opponents in your buildings it has counted the amount of owners in your buildings (absolute nonsense). This ill behaviour has been fixed now. - The [b]Dive Bar[/b] didn't remove your pawn after you've left it. Also, if you had entered the Dive Bar any player that has already been there would have been kicked out. From now on, if you leave the Dive Bar your pawn will also leave it. Also, the Dive Bar is now capable to hold multiple players. - The [b]Football Stadium[/b] wasn't placed on an emptied building stack if the stack was emptied due to a building action. This has been fixed and the Football Stadium behaves like expected. - The [b]Haulage Firm[/b] had a bad algorithm to check if you are able to enter it. Instead of searching for pairs of filled offer fields, any two filled offer fields enabled you to enter this building. After you've entered, the correct algorithm tried to find neighbouring fields and if there weren't any the game would crash. This has been fixed now. - The [b]Building Menu[/b] is now capable to show all of the players that are in a building instead of just the last one who has entered. Usually, there is only one player in any one building. This is not the case with the Dive Bar or in the Final Action Phase where multiple players may occupy any one building. - The [b]Savegame[/b] feature was corrupt. You could only load savegames of the first round of actions. The problem was that the game didn't re-create the Ships on the Ship Stacks and has crashed immediately during setup. This has been fixed now and all previously created savegame files ARE compatible with the new version. - The tooltips for buildings in the [b]Settings Window[/b] weren't sized properly. The longer the text has been the longer the tooltip window was created. Now, the tooltip windows are limited to 250 pixels in width. This number cannot be changed. - The [b]Concurrency Bug[/b] is fixed now. If you happened to click simultaneously on the OK button of the Food Payment Window at the end of a round, two Ships would enter the game and two buildings would be built by the time (if there were any to be built). Hopefully, this won't ever happen again. [b]VERSION 1.04 of May 31st, 2009.[/b] [size=12][color=red][b]If you like the game, please consider a small donation via PayPal.[/b][/color][/size] (Details can be found in the Credits window "About JLeHavre" in the game.)

34 Le Havre Solo Play Spreadsheet
Final version of Le Havre Solo Spreadsheet. Many Many bug fixes and several improvements to the UI. This allows you to play Le Havre solo, both short and normal games. It is written for Excel 2003, uses macros, dialog boxes etc. It seems to work on Excel 97 too. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/406318 Thanks go to the nice people at Lookout Games who designed this wonderful game and who graciously gave me permission to post it to BGG! [For reference, v1.13 was downloaded 179 times, v1.19 downloaded 103 times!] ERRATA: 1) Several Building costs are incorrect. To correct them, unprotect the Buildings page and change H5 from C to 2C, H7 from WC to 2WC, H16 from 3W1B to 3W2B. Protect the page afterwords. 2) The Iron and Coal Seam is providing a clay instead of a coal. To correct it, unprotect the buildings page, unhide column Q, change Q27 from 2IC to 2IO. Hide the columns and protect the page afterwords. 3) Luxury Yacht requires an upgraded wharf but shouldn't. 4) Luxury Yacht converts first iron ship not cheapest. Latest Version (including errata fixes): http://www.fredlawton.com/lotro/LeHavre.xls
