Le Havre (The Harbor)

The Le Havre app is a digital adaptation of the popular board game, which has received high praise from various sources. It allows for up to 5 players to compete against each other or against a computer AI in constructing buildings and ships to build a successful shipping empire. The app features an in-depth tutorial and hint system to help players develop their strategy and dominate the harbor.

The game involves collecting resources to build and use new buildings, while also managing workers and saving up for ships. Players must make strategic decisions early on in the game, as these choices can greatly impact their success later on. The app eliminates the need for physical setup and pieces, making it a convenient and hassle-free way to play the game.

The app offers three modes of play: solo play against varying levels of AI difficulty, "pass and play" with 2-5 local players, and turn-based multiplayer using Game Center. It also includes a full tutorial and in-game hints, as well as eye-catching design and interactive game pieces based on the original board game's artwork. Players can even create their own playlists from their iPod while playing.

The app requires iOS 5.0 or higher to play online. It was developed by Uwe Rosenberg, an award-winning German game designer known for his innovative card game mechanisms. Le Havre is a successor to his popular game Agricola, and is the second in his series of economic-themed building games.
