This sounds like there's a lot of variability in the set up, not necessarily much replayability.
If you always used the same set up--same goods/buildings order, same special buildings, etc.--would the game still be worth playing over and over again?

I still have fewer than ten plays of LH under my belt, but my feeling is yes. Even if the goods/buildings order is the same, you (and your opponents) will make different decisions throughout the game, and so you will be presented with different opportunities each turn.
I feel like you can ask this question about a lot of games that don't have any luck (e.g. draw cards, roll dice) during the game play. But the board is changing constantly with each decision a player makes. So unless each player makes the exact same decisions in the same order, you have replayability.
