Le Havre: The Inland Port is the 2-player game for those looking for an
intense half hours of so. The game
features 31 buildings that will be introduced over each of the 12 rounds. Five buildings are available for purchase at
the start of the game. Two or three more
buildings will become available in each round.
There are 4 resources (wood, brick, grain, & fish) that can be used

turns are reversed in Round 2. The
number of actions per round will change throughout the game. There are three actions in each of the first
3 rounds. Then there are 5 actions in
each of the next three rounds (Rounds 4, 5, & 6). Actions in Rounds 7, 8, & 9 will increase
to 7 actions. And finally, there will be
9 actions in each of the last three rounds.
And again actions will alternate where the 1st player will
have one more action than the 2nd player.

Each player’s main game
board (warehouse) has a wheel that tracks the number of actions per round and
how many times an action can be used when a building is activated. Each building gives a unique action. That action can be used form 2 to 4 times
each round depending on the building’s relation to the wheel. One of the things that make the game intense
is the ability to activate the opponents’ buildings taking advantage of its
ability and denying that action to its owner for that round. The game is over after 12 rounds. The player
with the most victory points on owned buildings combined with money wins. Timing is everything in this game. Players have to build an engine to generate
end game points, buy and activate buildings to maximize accumulation of
resources on their warehouse board. This
is a real brain burner for something with a small rule book and short game
play.
