The last time I played Le Havre, I played pretty poorly at the beginning and ended up with two accidental loans. When I realized that two wasn't much worse than one, I leaned into it, getting even more loans. I scored much better than three other players, but the ultimate winner was a player who did not buy a single boat!But yeah... that loan kind of scared me. I was curious how much it could be exploited.
However, a note: I do believe the rules say that you may not choose to take a loan. You can only do so when you have no other options. So 10 loans would be impressive.
