Dominion: Hinterlands

About this expansion

Dominion: Hinterlands is a Dominion addition for 2–4 players, with an average play time of 30 minutes. Released in 2011, it invites you to look beyond your moderate-sized kingdom toward far-off lands and unfamiliar customs.

As the sixth addition to the game of Dominion, Hinterlands expands the available selection of Kingdom cards. Its central theme is cards that do something immediately when you buy them or gain them, giving the set a clear focus on effects that happen at the moment a card enters your collection.

The expansion adds 26 new Kingdom cards, broadening the possibilities available during a game of Dominion. The new cards include several different card types:

• Action cards
• Treasure cards
• Victory cards
• Reaction cards

Its setting turns toward the hinterlands: exotic countries where pancakes exist without waffles, people wear the wrong number of shirts, and even familiar social situations may lack a name. The playful publisher description gives this expansion a distinctive sense of distant places and gently absurd discoveries.

Whether you are extending your kingdom into new territory or looking for fresh card combinations, Dominion: Hinterlands adds a focused group of cards to the Dominion series. It is designed for the same 2–4-player format and offers a typical 30-minute playing time.
