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.

Excellent game, just a couple of requests:
Tue Dec 12 2017 Binturong24

Your implementation of Le Havre is almost perfect. Can you just add pinch zoom into the phone app. Also a chat system that works and appears better. A repeat nudge button to online players that alerts their opponent that it is their turn cause they might not have heard it the first time. Also, maybe new different notifications sounds like a seagull or ship horn. Otherwise it is a perfect game. Thanks

Great Game - But at upper levels, AI is broken

Very fun strategy game - as challenging as Caylus and the lower levels of AI opponent skills makes it excellent and totally worth the price. That said, at the higher levels, you’ll find that your AI opponents will have FAR more buildings than would seem normal. At first I suspected it, and now, 5 games in a row, I can confirm: AI opponents will purchase buildings WITHOUT the proper resources. Examples of AI purchases, 5 player game... Game 1: Round one, TURN ONE: Shipping Line! 3 Brick and 1 Wood. After, AI still has 5 wood and 2 clay in inventory! Game 2: Round one, TURN ONE: Hardware Store! 3 Wood and 1 Clay. Where did Wood #3 come from? Game 3: Round five: AI has 72 points of buildings already!!!! Seriously? Game 4: Round one: AI has 2 turns. Purchases both Abattoir and Wharf. That’s 3 Wood + 3 Clay + 3 Iron. Fuzzy math?...lol Enjoy the game against lesser AI opponents - they don’t cheat. Upper levels appear to have god-like powers to buy things with invisible resources. Btw...this may be an internal database problem...If you uninstall then re-install, the problem goes away for several games before rearing its ugly head once again. ;^}

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!

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.

Excellent

I had my Stone Age game I paid for deleted off my iPad. Thankfully this was still here. It took me three times playing it to fully develop a good strategy. The tutorial is great and overall just a great game. I am now going to complete the bundle and hope they are as good.

Fun board game!

Really enjoy this board game adaptation for the iPad. I gave it 4 out of 5 because I’m able to set the options and close the modal on the iPad mini. The close button is missing. The only way to close the options modal is to tap the reset button which defeats the purpose of saving the changes. So stuck with help dialogs constantly popping up during the course of the game.

Fun game, seriously needs update

Decent implementation of a great board game. The UI is far better in the iPad than phones and the online play is wonky lots of frustrating times getting games with friends to connect and start properly. All that said when it works it’s great. Newer devices beware the screen is shrunk down to to previous generation sizes (pre iPhone 10) for both phone and pad so if you have either explicit rhat compromise

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.
