Looking at the Hinterlands villages:
Border Village is the best thing since Hamlet. It was the first revealed card in the Hinterlands previews, and we all could tell pretty quickly what an awesome card it is (unlike Jack). Gaining $5s with it is such a great deal, and while taking about the same amount of time as University, Border Village is as spammable as the $5s you want, whereas you want, at the most, 3-4 Universities. Building engines has never been quicker. The one not-as-good thing about BV is that it can't take advantage of Bridge variants, so you can't suck up any Goons or King's Courts. Maybe some future card that decreases the cost of only one card could combo well with this. And when you're starting to green, Border Villages Remodel (or Farmland) very nicely into Provinces.
Crossroads... this is one of those oscillate-y cards I was talking about. "Oh wow we could draw soooooo many cards with this!" "Oh... but that means we have to have shit in our deck..." "Oh so it'll go great with alt VP!" "But it's still kinda meh and I'd rather have a Cellar..." "Unless it's the only source of extra Actions..." Crossroads is best with Action-Victory cards. That statement right there equates it essentially to Scout, which just got named the worst $4.
Inn is quirky, a description appropriate for any card that combos well with Chancellor. I've never really liked sifty cards like Warehouse or Young Witch, mainly because I much prefer to make grandiose engines that fail half the time because I keep buying more engine components instead of Provinces. I prefer to increase rather than decrease my handsize. Cellar I enjoy because the discard amount is variable, so it can be very powerful with large hands, and Embassy still increases your handsize. But Inn? It's a YW sifty with some Actions thrown in. Good with Tunnel, but I'd rather keep the cards I draw. But the on-gain effect makes it all worth it, and the on-gain effect actually makes you consider grabbing Chancellor, which not even Coppersmith/Counting House will make me do.
