Le Havre (The Harbor) App Reviews

I am very impressed by both the game mechanism, and Sage Games’ digital version. Moderately steep learning curve, with a good payoff—it could be an introduction to worker placement games, which is a genre. I found it more accessible than iOS Caylus. Not quite as slick as Carcassonne, Pandemic, and (I hear) Agricola, Lords of Waterdeep. But it gets the job done, and it is usually cheaper. The font on the cards should be bigger. On iPad Air, I still require squinting.

A fun "worker placement" game. The board is a little small on my iPod but recommended none the less.

This is a highly rated board game but I have only played the iOS version. The game is a highly complex Euro but is executed well on iPad. It is a very tough game for me to pick up strategies for, I am very glad that it has hints for newbs like me.

I would pay a few bucks for the expansion deck. Please, please pretty please. Thanks

While this is a great game, I agree with the other reviewers: turn off the ads! They are annoying and are too easy to click on. I cant tell you how many times Ive clicked on them when trying to start a new game. Besides, we already have a link to the other games from the Agricola box! Please fix!

Very fun game, tutorial isnt great if you havent played it before. If you are familiar with the game its a great implementation of it.

This is a great game with lots of strategy and stays true to the original board game. Although it definitely helps if youve played the board game before as there are lots of little pieces and cards and it can be complicated to follow on a small screen.

Good fun. More sophisticated than Agricola. So far its my fav. too bad Dungeon Lords isnt iOS.

I really liked this game, more than Puerto Rico which was my favorite iOS boardgame.

Spot on,very playable version of a modern classic...Also see Agricola if you enjoy this...

Great game, but you have to give it a chance. The rules are pretty extensive. You have to play through the tutorial and watch closely what the other AI players are doing. If you like resource gathering and allocation games then this is a game for you. If you enjoy Agricola, Power Grid, or other games of this genre then you will enjoy Le Havre .... After you have played through several games.

Le Havre for iOS is a great port from the original cardboard implementation. Ive used it to not only learn to play Le Havre, but sharpen my game through several plays. This one keeps is place on the iPad, much like it has helped its cardboard counterpart keep its place on my gaming shelf .

Really good adaptation of the boardgame. Words are a little small to read because of so many things on the screen. Definitely recommend this game!

The implementation of this game needs work. We ran into a few math bugs where I clearly had enough resources but it wouldnt allow me to take the action. The tutorial froze in the final step. Once the help text disappears you cant get it back. And some help text disappeared so quickly I couldnt even read it. I didnt care for the game itself. One action (mainly) per turn isnt a very rich experience. Im surprised this game ranks so highly in boardgamegeek.

This game just isnt fun to play. It is also one of the most overrated games available. Seriously who thinks this crap is actually good? Agricola was hard to pick up too but once you figure out how to navigate the interface everything just "clicks" and it makes sense. It becomes obvious how you can win the game. This gives no explanation of how the pieces fit together and really no explanation of how to generate wealth. The interface is so cluttered that it is practically unreadable. This an awful attempt to make this game digital.

Its one of Uwe Rosenbergs game, what more can I say? Hes an amazing board game designer/developer of our generation.

Le Havre is a tough game because there are so many things to track, including the buildings that your opponents own. This implementation does its best to alleviate that difficulty, but theres only so much you can do in this small space. Still a terrific implementation. Better on the iPad though.

I dont own the physical game, but its on my wish list after playing this excellent version. Theres a lot of strategy involved, but the actual gameplay is quite simple once you get the hang of it. It seems best with 3 players, and luckily the AIs can be set to be fairly challenging. My one complaint is that playing online (with spouse on different iPad) we often have to go out of the game in order to get our turns to register; its a small point, but irritating. Overall, an excellent game in every way.

This is a great port of a board game! Haha. But dont worry, I wont go overboard with puns!

Great tutorial.
