by 8bit Geezer Go for it!Le Havre is a great 2p game. No reason to wait until you play Agricola. It has a "short" version you can play your first time to get used to the mechanics.Have fun!

by thor0298 You are spot on with the cards. I like all three for different reasons. Le Havre does have short and long versions. I think long is just the normal game. But that is longer than Agricola....

by dugman Different people have different tastes but personally I like Le Havre and don't like Agricola. Therefore in my case I bought Le Havre and won't buy Agricola. I felt like Agricola was just too...

by davypi I'm actually worried that neither game would be good for you. Looking at the games you've rated in your profile, you've never played a worker placement game. (Keyflower is close to being a...
