Preorders Open for Le Havre
Anticipating great interest in its Spiel 08 release in the wake of the Agricola phenomenon, Lookout Games’ Hanno Girke is taking preorders for Le Havre. Write to lh-preorder@lookout-games.de for the Australian language edition and lh-deutsch@lookout-games.de for the German language edition. State how many copies you’re interested in, and which day you plan to pick up the game.

Anyone live in the United States that is going to Spiel that can pick me up a copy? I live near Phiadelphia and would be willing to pay the cost of the game and shipping and stuff. =) Posted by Stefan Lopuszanski on Sep 11, 2008 at 03:39 AM | #

http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/339818 Hanno is taking pre-orders for mail order also! Hurray! Posted by Scott Russell on Sep 12, 2008 at 02:35 PM | #

Ya, unfortuantly the shipping is a ton because it ships from Europe. I’m really looking for someone who attends Spiel and who lives in the United States so shipping wouldn’t be insane. Posted by Stefan Lopuszanski on Sep 12, 2008 at 03:49 PM | #

Stefan, I picked up games for friends in previous years, but given the increased costs for luggage, both on weight and number of bags, bringing back a Le Havre for someone would effectively cost them the same amount as it would to ship the game, if you get what I’m saying. (I would charge them a portion of the weight/bag fee.) After all I’ve never seen someone leave Spiel with empty space in their bags! Eric Posted by W. Eric Martin on Sep 12, 2008 at 04:04 PM | #

Hanno and I looked at what it would cost to consolidate Australian orders - and it’s actually about the same as getting them shipped directly from Europe, once local postage is factored in. Posted by Melissa Rogerson on Sep 13, 2008 at 02:13 AM | #

I have pre-ordered 3 copies but not had a reply. Normally the company acknowledges the order with a reference or at least an email. Should I re-order or has no-one had a response? Posted by Alan How on Sep 15, 2008 at 02:40 PM | #

Only those who explicitely asked for a response got one.
