Word of advice, play the short version first. I was subjected to the full game (20 rounds or so) with 4 other players for my first game and it was a freakin' death march. :-)
There's a reason this is printed on the first page of the manual. - "We only recommend the 5-player game for experienced “Le Havre” players."
They tell you up front it's a 4 hour game, it's supposed to be a death march, specifically designed for those who like death marches. :D
