Building Options
Customers are highly enthusiastic about the building options in Le Havre, praising its balance of tension and open-endedness, fun mechanics, and meaningful player interaction. The game's focus and forgiveness compared to other titles is also noted positively. Some customers particularly enjoy the addition of special building cards and the ability to write their own cards.
Game Complexity
Customers have a positive sentiment towards the complexity of Le Havre, with some expressing that while it may appear simple at first, there are many paths to victory and numerous items to choose from, making for a deep and engaging experience. However, a smaller group of customers mention that the game can be overwhelming due to its depth and lengthy playtime.

Worst of all, the 4th player (of the round) really gets screwed in terms of action selection.
Price
I'm so glad they reprinted it, it was selling at insane prices before that.
You are invested in other people's turns, since even if they get buildings you can use them (for a fee usually).
Packaging/appearance
The package came and the box was damaged in the corner so that was really disappointing.
Competitiveness
I feel le havre is the better game because it is more focused then caverna and at the same time far more forgiving then agricola!
I think this game is better then agricola, caverna and perhaps feast of odin (haven't played that one enough.

Even the short versions are marked about 30 minutes shy of how they play out

There are a ridiculous amount of pieces and you will want some small bowls to contain the little tiles unless you really feel like stacking them all but overall it doesnt feel too fiddly despite the numerous pieces and constant piling
