In Havana you acquire victory points by constructing buildings, available as tiles displayed on the table. To take a building you must pay its requirements - some combination of money, workers and building materials. More difficult combinations yield more victory points. 

The game's core mechanic revolves around identical decks of 13 cards for each player, of which only 2 are played per round. Not only is the start player constantly changing, but it is also possible that a planned action cannot be taken, as another player has already used the same role. Not all roles are exclusive. Some roles allow you to tax or steal from other players, and some cards defend against this, so it's not all just collecting pieces in a solitary manner. Other cards add different twists. What and when to choose, who to hurt, and what you're aiming for, make up the game's main decisions.
