Hi, I am new to Le Havre. I am trying out the simple version 1-player for the start.In the 1-player version, there is no Wharf in the building proposals for the set up. I understand that that means I can't build/construct Wharf through the whole game. However, I got questions:
Does that mean the building is not usable in this 1-player game? Or does it mean it is still usable but owned by the government at the start? Can I just assume it is owned by the government and still visit it to build ship? Can I still buy it instead of constructing it?
After reading the instructions, I am still confused... When do I buy a building and when do I construct a building? The "Buying vs Building" is really something I can't quite figure out clearly. I have heard that those buildings that "exist in the beginning" are owned by the government, and those can only be brought, not constructed.... but what does it mean if a building "exists in the beginning"? How can I tell which buildings exist in the beginning and which are not? Is it shown on the card? It is shown on the board?
Hmmm.... I am really confused about this game. I hope someone can lighten me up a little. Thank you.
