Le HavreHow it Came to the Collection
We were looking for more games like Agricola and Le Havre was well reviewed.
Why it's Still in the Collection
Haven't managed to trade it yet.
The game fell flat for us. We like Agricola, Caylus, Fields of Arle, and Nusfjord, one would think that Le Havre would be for us as well. Turns out, not so much. We don't feel any tension playing the game. You move your ship, get some resources, use them to generate points, rinse and repeat. Maybe the game is not at its best with two players. Or maybe we are not strategic enough players. But we don't feel the time pressure of Agricola or the action selection choices in Caylus. And, since we have both of those games, Le Havre is just not going to get played.
