Thoughts: I think my rating's going to tank while I experiment while the new cards, but it's going to be a whole lot of fun in the process

^ this for sure. Mine's already on its way down. So many shinies, must buy! Must buy! Oh wait...it's turn 20 already? Oops. gg.

Me too.  I may lose by opening Farming Village/Tunnel, but at least I'll lose in style!  (I did lose.  It was close, though!)

I seem to remember that after cornucopia my ranking went down because I didn't get to play with the cards until everyone else had a week's practice. At the moment my ranking is going up, probably by my ignoring these fancy new cards.

I think this is good evidence that Cornucopia had a lot of strong cards that you really want to integrate into your strategies ASAP whereas Hinterlands has a lot of trap cards that you can do very well avoiding.

I just want to echo that Hinterlands seems like a set designed for serious Dominion players rather than casual gamers. I don't have a problem with that—all of the expansions before this, with the possible exception of Alchemy—are relatively easy to figure out for a casual player. But, I would not recommend this set to someone right now until they are very familiar with the earlier sets and want another dimension of challenge.
