Leave a Review Le Havre (The Harbor)
Addictive
Challenging and addictive, even though I’m still playing on the lower levels. I’ve never played the actual board game, so I can’t say how well it translates. But I’m enjoying this version.Nevadan
Amazing game.
Best IOS board game. Outstanding.Friend of euro games
Incredibly buggy on iPad Pro 2018
The screen doesn’t scale to the proper resolution so everything is shrunk. Sometimes touchscreen commands don’t register so I have to force close the app. This is a prime example of why so many people are hesitant to buy mobile games.0biwaz
Developer Response
Thanks for letting us know about this issue. Must be a glitch in the latest update. We will investigate and hope to fix it ASAP. Apologies for any inconvenience.Hard and soft copies
I started playing the app first, then the actual board game and it’s seamless. Recommend you follow the same order. App for solo play and understanding the game strategy, then the real board game for groups. The app does have a online group play with random players, pick and pass, or through the iOS Game Center. All in all, best board game my wife and I love to play.Show lessradical ford pickup
Deep and engaging
Classic Uwe Rosenberg thematic/euro worker placement game. AI offers up a good challenge. Cards and tiles are a bit hard to see on a phone (plays much better on a tablet) but still a great implementation of a classic game.@ignoreintuition
So easy, so hard
Excellent board game, excellent digital adaptation. If you are a big fan of Euro board games you should get this now.RichfieldTimm
Enjoyable
Great strategy game and the app is good value for the price!KennyBoy5
Better than hard copy
Much less bookkeeping than the cardboard version, which has notorious tiny and obnoxious components. Makes for a much streamlined and more satisfying version of the same game.ArborBarber
Awesome game but maybe with one wrong rule in the app
Really like this game and I am impressed that he team can put so many info on a tiny phone screen, good job. However, my understanding of the rules is the you can purchase/sale building at any time during your term; however, when you are using the “construction building (8)” in the app to build 2 proposals, it seems you are not allowed to build one first, buy the 2nd underneath, and then build the 3rd card. The app doesn’t show the function and indicates that you can’t take those actions while entering a building. Please clarify and fix. Thanks!Show lessJay1khbtfvol
Very good interface and implementation of Rosenberg game
Update:
- Bug: MP still a little janky. I am able to connect to friend’s game but it does odd things, such as removing all AI despite starting a 5p game with 2 human players.
- bug: Resetting round from help screen during sell building sub-action when repaying loan causes game crash/dead end loop: screen empties and prompts user to finish main action or choose a building to sell.
- bug: odd issue with player names where if you change your name on keyboard overlay popup and hit return game boots you to iOS main screen and you must re-enter game, i think i worked around it by tapping outside keyboard area and somehow changed my default single player name this way.
- AI is pretty good but understandably this game has so many choices that it cannot expect to match AlphaGo on its budget lol. It often makes poor choices, or status hints, particularly when a sacrifice move is more obvious, such as taking 2 iron to snag an ironship when shipping line is out next, or an important building even if it means getting hit with 1-2 loans. Instead it’s round 10 & telling you to buy a wood ship because you have wood, etc.
original:
I am kind of a hobby-boardgame app pariah and routinely go on rants about some of the problems I’ve noticed in the push for applifying brick and mortar catslogs. A lot of great boardgames have messy apps with dropped support and lost development, sitting around the online stores as abandonware. Some bg apps are crippled with stupid bugs, I even dropped this one a long time ago because I couldn’t get multiplayer to work, but have gotten over it. Another personal grievance is the practice of porting iOs apps to Steam barely altered in any noticeable way (terra mystica, small world, ticket to ride, most bg adaptations on steam actually).
Anyway, I think this is a highly enjoyable and addicting way to learn and play Le Havre, and definitely worth the cash even if it’s only played solo and the MP is glitched.
A small but very helpful feature improvement would be a way to see on bonus cards what the buildings rolling or final bonuses are or at least on a log page in its own screen , as I cannot see if my score is being counted correctly or really review where I (or the game) made mistakes. I don’t know if my storage card was counted and the total isn’t visible anywhere at game end. If this exists already I don’t know where to find it! Thanks for the fun.Show lessgrimoire_games
