Havana

Description

In Havana you acquire victory points by constructing buildings, available as tiles displayed on the table. To take a building you must pay its requirements – some combination of money, workers and building materials. More difficult combinations yield more victory points.Furthermore, not all of the available buildings on the table are ripe for the taking, as only the ones on the right and left hand border of the 2 rows of buildings are available for selection.

Havana’s core mechanic revolves around identical decks of 13 cards for each player, of which only 2 are played per round. But in addition to the card’s function, the numerical combination of cards played is important (e.g. a card with a value of 3 and 4, result in the value 34) as the player with the lowest combined number acts first.
