Our Expert Score

87/100

Le Havre: The Inland Port is a masterful adaptation of Uwe Rosenberg’s acclaimed board game. It captures the complex economic engine of the original and translates it into a digital format that manages all the bookkeeping for you. The game is a tight, competitive race to build the most valuable harbor, and the 'warehouse' mechanic—where resources tick down as you use them—is a stroke of strategic genius.

The AI is surprisingly tough, providing a solid challenge for solo players, but the game truly shines in asynchronous multiplayer. The interface is clean, making it easy to see what your opponent is planning and which buildings are currently available for purchase. It’s a deep, rewarding 'Euro-style' game that fits perfectly in your pocket, offering a full board game experience in about 15 minutes.

====================

"10/10: This game will undoubtedly go down as a perennial favourite." - iPadBoardGames.org

"4/4: [A] great digital translation of this famous game." - iOS Board Games

"[E]xcellent ... as elegant an adaptation as I can imagine. If you like Agricola and/or Caylus, I strongly recommend Le Havre." - The Dish

"5/5: Very compelling and rewarding." - GameZebo

"4.5/5: if you're a fan of board games, you [...] owe it to yourself to pick this one up." - TouchArcade

====================

In this universal adaptation of the popular board game (winner of a 2009 International Gamers Award, among others), you can compete with up to 5 people — or against a computer's AI — to construct buildings and ships to support your shipping empire. An in-depth tutorial and hint system help you develop the strategy you will need to dominate the harbor.

Collect resources to build and use new buildings, while paying your workers and saving up for ships. Buildings are a good investment, but ships provide necessary income. Deciding where to put your resources early on may determine your fate later in the game, so choose wisely!

With no setup time required, no pieces to lose, and no arguments about the rules, the future of board games is here and Le Havre gives you exactly what you want — to play!
