Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The world is big and your kingdom small. Small when compared to the world, that is, it's moderate-sized when compared to other kingdoms. But in a big world like this one - big when compared to smaller worlds anyway, if such things exist, it's moderate-sized when compared to worlds of roughly the same size, and a little small when compared to worlds just a little larger - well, to make a long story short - short when compared to longer stories anyway - it is time to stretch your borders. You've heard of far-off places - exotic countries, where they have pancakes but not waffles, where the people wear the wrong number of shirts, and don't even have a word for the look two people give each other when they each hope that the other will do something that they both want done but which neither of them wants to do. It is to these lands that you now turn your gaze.

Product Description

It's an expansion and cannot be played by itself: to play it you must have Dominion. It , . Please note: Dominion Hinterlands is not a stand-alone game. A copy of Dominion or a stand-alone expansion to Dominion (e.g., Dominion: Intrigue) is required to play.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hinting at greatness November 28, 2011
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
When this set was announced, I had absolutely no intention of buying it! I was quite happy with what I felt were the original and what I considered to be the three best expansions - Intrigue, Seaside, and Cornucopia. But once I got a glimpse of all the cards and what they did, I quickly changed my mind.

Dominion: Hinterlands MIGHT just be the best addition to the game since `Intrigue'. Indeed, there are several things about the two expansions that are somewhat similar. Combination card types, several Victory cards, and lots of peeking at cards all may sound familiar to owners of `Intrigue', but believe me, this game is not simply "Intrigue II". And its all cards...no mats, coins, or tokens. While I DO enjoy those enhancements, it's always nice to get back to the basics.

What I think makes this set excellent is that it's designed to circumvent many of the tactics that have become rudimentary and mundane. For example, the reaction card Trader - when revealed - allows you to take a Silver instead of a card you've gained. Someone zaps a curse on you...voila...take a Silver instead. Have an extra buy with nothing to spend? Take a Copper, reveal the trader, and POOF...instant Silver!

Many of the cards are very thought provoking and challenging, as evidenced by the three Victory cards in the set. Farmlands is a $6 Victory card worth 2VP - not exactly a bargain. But it also has a `Remodel' type function when you buy it, which can backfire if you're not careful. The `Silk Road' gives you a variable number of VP based on the number of...wait for it...Victory cards in your deck at the end of the game. And the `Tunnel' combination card is a Victory card that lets you gain a gold when you discard it before your cleanup phase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet! January 23, 2012
Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
If you think you have to be under 30 to enjoy games, think again. I'm 80, and my husband and I have played Dominion at least 150 games. We have the original, plus Prosperity, and now Hinterlands, and this is the best of the three. The base game is a great intro to the genre--we played it maybe 80 times before looking for an expansion. And introduced the game to our children and grandchildren. Prosperity added new options, and we loved it. Then came Hinterlands!! Whooee--this is not your ho hum stuff. Just reading what each card does is interesting, but when different combinations come up in the hand, altogether new possibilities come to light. We're still developing new strategies, and every time we try a new random set-up, different cards become priorities. Dominion is a fantastic game, certainly the most variable I've ever played, and though you can play down-and-dirty, you can also play with cards that keep peace in the family. This is appropriate for kids who want to win at least some of the time, but don't want the adults to throw the game. And even with Hinterlands (that takes somewhat longer to plan the strategy of some hands) it's a good game for a quick play after the evening news. In fact it's way better than the evening news! If you're thinking of buying--quit wasting time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Expansion! January 9, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
At the time of me writing this Dominion: Hinterlands is the most recent expansion. Almost all of the cards have a good effect and will therefore be useful. What I mean is that in cornucopia there were a good deal of cards (horn of plenty, harvest) that are still in almost mint condition because nobody buys them when I put them on the table. The art I would say is not as good as cornucopias but it is better than say Intrigue or base.

Out of all the expansions I would rate it 3rd. With seaside being the best and prosperity after that. It gets its 3rd place ribbon because they did a really good job putting in effects that make for a more challenging game. These are cards that benefit mathematical analysis and a deep understanding of the game mechanics. Since a lot of the effects of Hinterlands cards operate around a vanilla effect when played and a special one time effect when gained it takes a good deal of thinking and card counting to make some of the strategies pay off.

bottom line is that I would recommend this expansion to people that really like Dominion and are experienced players that own most of the other sets. If you are new to dominion and want a good first expansion to build up from base I would recommend Dominion: Intrigue, Dominion: Seaside, Dominion: Prosperity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Focused on immediacy April 2, 2012
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
This expansion to the dominion base game is focused more on the immediacy of the play vs your next turn like the seaside expansion. I enjoy this expansion, and would purchase before cornucopia or alchemy

4.0 out of 5 stars hinterlands- a great addition. January 11, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Before I had this, i owned the base dominion set, and the prosperity expansion.I didn't want to go overboard, so i figured i was all set with those, a lot of other people i played with had the other expansions, so i was able to still experience those sets without spending a fortune or having dominion take over an entire room. Besides, it was a good excuse to go and play with other people. but when i heard of the mechanics of this set, and saw some of the cards, i had to get it.
And i wasn't disappointed. Hinterlands brings some unique gameplay to the table, whether played by itself or combined with another set. some of the cards are a lot more complex, but after a couple of plays the strategy will work itself out. the main theme of this set is cards that do something when you buy them, which is a sore temptation, because you have to balance instant rewards with long-term deck building strategy. not all of the cards do this, and of course the set still has a few "standards", the card set is well thought out and coherent, all playing to the theme of the game.
whether this is the first time you are adding an expansion on to your base set or intrigue, or you want to add one more to your expanded collection, i highly recommend Dominion: Hinterlands.
