## Description
If you're already a veteran of the streets of Le Havre and feel your strategy needs a fresh breath of air, Le Grand Hameau is exactly the upgrade you've been waiting for. This is the first official (non-promo!) expansion for Uwe Rosenberg's classic, and it arrives with a very clear purpose: bringing more variety and depth to your tabletop. The heart of this expansion lies in the 30 new Special Buildings, which were the result of an incredible collaboration between the original designer and several members of the BoardGameGeek community. This means the content was crafted by people who truly love and play the game!

Versatility is the big selling point here. You don't necessarily have to mix everything; if you prefer a more controlled experience, you can use just the new building deck to replace the original one. However, if you're the type who enjoys organized chaos and wants the maximum number of options, you can mix the new buildings with the old ones, creating a much richer and more unpredictable ecosystem of choices. Beyond the gameplay content, the expansion also addresses minor past issues, including correction cards for misprints found in previous editions.

For those playing the Brazilian version from Ludofy, there's great news: the expansion is already included directly in the base game box! This makes life much easier for those who want to jump straight into the action. Get ready to manage your resources with even more layers of decision-making, where each new building can completely shift the course of your industrial and economic production. It's the kind of content that transforms an already excellent game into an almost infinitely replayable experience.
