Hey there, board game enthusiasts! If you're already a fan of Le Havre and love adding a little extra spice to your games, get ready! This special card, released at the 2010 Essen Toy Fair as part of Lookout Games' anniversary celebrations, is one of those finds that injects new life into the game. Think of it as a small promotional 'boost', originally part of a catalog that needed to be cut out. The good news is that it was included in later editions, like the 2017 one, so it's not as hard to find as it might seem!

And what's the power of this little gem? Simple: it gives you the chance to take a loan and, as a bonus, six different goods of your choice, with one caveat: no Steel! It's a quick way to boost your economy or fulfill that urgent need for materials to drive your production. For those who play Le Havre, you know every resource counts, and having an option like this can turn the tide. This card is a treat for those who have already mastered the port's tactics and are looking to optimize every move, adding an extra layer of strategy without overcomplicating the rules we already know and love. It's a small piece of Le Havre's promotional history right on your table!
