Le Havre Expansion: Essen Promo Cards

About this expansion

Le Havre Expansion: Essen Promo Cards is a 12-card Special Building promo pack for Le Havre, a game for 1–5 players with a listed play time of 150 minutes. Released in 2008, this expansion was originally presented at the Essen Game Fair.

Lookout Games offered the pack at the 2008 fair, where it was created as a special promotional set for the new game. After the event, Hanno of Lookout Games held a charity auction for players who could not attend Essen.

The set adds a collection of named Special Building cards to Le Havre. Its contents are:

• Dunny
• Worker’s Cottages
• Construction Site
• Logging Camp
• MS Dagmar
• Pawnbroker’s
• Pirate’s Lair
• Junkyard
• Dive Bar
• Picket Line
• Tobacco Factory
• Cattle Drive

Each card is identified by a number, beginning with 00 for Dunny and continuing through cards 036–046. The original pack includes both English and German names, making it a distinct collectible for fans of the published expansion material.

Players looking for this Essen promotional release should note that it was later incorporated into the 2017 edition of Le Havre. In that edition, the background color was changed to orange to show that the cards form part of an expansion.

Whether encountered as the original fair promo or in the 2017 edition, Le Havre Expansion: Essen Promo Cards is a compact way to identify the additional Special Building content associated with Le Havre.
