Dominion News

1.  For iPhone users there is now a Dominion app.  Currently it is free and only includes the base set.  I guess it must be a beta, as I read somewhere in BGG that it wasn't officially licensed yet.  The AI isn't particularly impressive at this point.  My win % with 4 players is 75% vs. 38% against human opponents on BSW.  Also it appears that we (or at least I) may have been playing the Thief card wrong in the past (assuming that the app is right). 

2.  My copy of Hinterlands just arrived.  Something more for the March gathering!  I haven't played any of the cards yet, but in reading them it seems interesting.  It appears to be all about having stuff happen "right now" - buy it, do it (sort of the opposite of Seaside).  I don't think it will knock Prosperity out of the "best expansion" seat, but it also isn't going to challenge Alchemy for the cellar.

3.  A subset of the new Hinterlands cards is available for play on BSW.
