I'm probable in the minority here, but this seems wrong to me to keep it without communicating with the seller. You're spot on that it is there fault for sending the wrong game. It's true that they may not fix it if the situation was reversed and it will be inconvenient. An email can be sent to inquire with the seller about the situation.


Two separate issues. 1) Is Le Havre a great game that you should keep and play? Yes. 2) Has there been some sort of mix-up which you should try to resolve with the seller? Yes.

Who knows. The seller might have had both items in stock and accidentally picked (or employed someone who accidentally picked) the wrong item to send you. It is worth resolving.

Le Havre is a great game. But online retailing works on a basis of trust between buyer and seller.

That is untrue. Online retailers refuse to send me anything without first charging my credit card, which shows they do not trust me. And should they ever fail to send me the promised items I will contact my credit card company to cancel the payment, which shows I don't need trust in them.

Okay everybody, calm down.

I've since sent an email to the seller with a photo of the opened packaged showing Le Havre. Still no response. If they don't respond soon, I'll purchase Le Havre: The Inland Port from a different seller and consider Le Havre an unexpected Christmas gift at a "clearence" sale price.

Maybe I'll keep the game, maybe I'll sell it. In the meantime, more of your thoughts/opinions are very much welcomed.

Hope you can work out things in a way your're happy with the seller. However, just wanted to mention that $30 is a good price for Le Havre, but nothing special for Inland Port.

Oh, I know! Le Havre normally retails for around $70. The Inland Port is roughly $40. Either way, the price I paid online was $21+$7 shipping.

If your not interested in Le Havre I would definitely resell it and then buy in land port. You'll be money ahead.

I just got the ios version of the game, and had this same question. I'm thinking its more of a rules summary than a copy of the rulebook, cause it has some unanswered issues.

This thread answered my first case, but what about the final turn? Can you use the same building on both the second to final and the final turn?

These rules just say you can't enter an already occupied building, but the final turn rules say you can for this turn only. But the implementation doesn't appear to allow reuse. I was trying to use the shipping lane again.


And a totally unrelated question:
What controls what building the town builds next? Cost? Random? Pile?

On the very last turn, you can move to a building where someone else is. However, you can't move to a building where you already are. You are already there. You don't get to reactivate the building.

The town builds the next avaliable building with the lowest ordinal, which is shown on the top right corner of the building.

That depends. If it is your building-yes. If it is another players building and they get sick and tired of you hogging the space all game (and not furthering your own game)- the buildings owner can sell it out from underneath you-at which point your disk goes back to your player area-and even buy it back again in the same turn (at a $$$ loss of course) and use it.


Actually don't the rules say you can't buy and sell the same building on the same turn?


Correct, you can't sell and then buy the same building that turn.

Opposite order is fine.

So, the update goes as follows:

The inline seller emailed me and said that it was definitely a packing error on their part. I'm being sent Le Havre: The Inland Port right away and it should be on its way.

The seller also told me to keep Le Havre and do with it as I wish. :)

So, I'm basically getting Le Havre (with the expansion, which came indluded), and The Inland Port, for a ridiculous price. Merry (happy accidental) Christmas to me! :)

Great variant and modifications, well done guys!

I have also modified it a bit, so you only get 3 special building cards. 1 at the start, one at the first wood ship, one at iron.

I just find it unwieldy to have too many special buildings out otherwise. Thinking about cutting it down to just two even.

Good ideas.

I like 3 better than 2, because you have to assume at least 1 you get will be crappy/doesn't fit in your plan at all, so three still gives you a chance to have 2 worth playing.

The rules seem unclear on this subject. On page 7 it says each ship a player owns reduces the amount of food he must pay. On the top of page 8 it says When players build ships they receive food production tokens that indicate the amount of food they recieve each round from their ship cards. This is very confusing. Which is it? Build or own ?

Both are correct - these are different things.

When you Build a ship, you get the big round food tokens. These are actually superfluous - it's just a reminder that you don't have to pay this amount of food each feeding phase.

That big 2" disc that you take when you build, is the amount you offset everytime you feed.

Owned. If I recall correctly, the tokens are just to make it easy to remember the total value of the food produced by ships. :)

Either, you can build a ship, or buy a ship the same as with buildings however building a ship requires you to use your action to visit a wharf, food production tokens merely show the food the ships provide and aren't essential.
It should be noted that the cost of ships is more than the final value

So wether you buy a ship or build a ship you get the food offset every turn?
