Rules quiz
How much of Le Havre do you still remember? Each question opens on its answer.
When someone lands on the Interest tile, how much does a player with 3 loans pay?
Every player with any loans pays exactly 1 Franc regardless of how many loans they hold.
When are you allowed to take a loan?
You may take a loan only when you cannot pay interest or feeding after spending all your food and money, and never by choice to fund a purchase or an entry fee.
At what price do you sell a building or ship, and to whom?
You sell only to the town, never to other players, always at half the value.
What extra cost applies the first time anyone builds something other than a Wooden Ship at a particular Wharf?
That player must modernize the Wharf by placing 1 brick on it, which stays for the rest of the game and covers everyone after that.
What is different about entering buildings during the final turn after the last Round card?
In the final turn you may enter a building that other discs already occupy, and the only building you cannot enter is the one your own disc is on.
