Havana (board game)

Havana is a board game by Reinhard Staupe.

The game takes place just after the Cuban Revolution and is centred around the regeneration of Cuba's capital Havana.

This means that the player can change each round and consequently a planned action may be prevented or restricted.

[3] Players need to accrue money (pesos), workers, and building materials in order to take a building tile, buying them with the specified number of each resource and consequently scoring that card's victory points.

Reviewers note that Havana "presents a fair level of challenge for a game of its simplicity and brevity" but with it being "unforgiving of mistakes" it is not necessarily particularly good as a 'gateway game'.
