Three comparisons at the beginning: in Cuba is Havana, Cuba appears to be the publisher Eggert games and has the same graphics as well as building einTitelbild (Michael Menzel) and has drawn in Cuba, however, deserves to play eigentich not with the "big brother" in Cuba thrown a pot since it produces very different from the gaming experience feels like.

Havana is a full-fledged board game without a board, for an actual schedule does not exist. The game comes from playing with other components, namely, the action cards, buildings, various wooden cube - raw materials and einwenig play money. Enough, but still pleasant enough material for writer Reinhard distemper, therefore, to develop from a varied and entertaining game for the re-establishment of the capital of Cuba.

Here the players have to buy buildings that are designed in two rows on the table. A total of 12 buildings, each may be bought 4 buildings situated on the edge, which vary with the cost here.

In general, the determination of the turn order is resolved in an interesting way. All cards have a number two cards each may be active per player. The lowest "number" of two cards booklet brings the right starting player.

As a player you want yes liked everything: First off be to log up many raw materials and play the most powerful actors. This is difficult in Havana, for good action cards often also have high turn order - numbers. A good sense of timing when you activate the action is therefore needed, especially when many raw materials and / or money should be distributed.

We liked Havana really good. It provides atmosphere that is entertaining and compact, offers plenty of tactical and some interactive opportunities and encourages through its construction of the mechanism always distinguish Gabäudekauf running for re-play. Now it will be final time for a Caribbean theme night with Havana, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Martinique, and and and ....
