Even if you complete all of the city objectives, the game offers you daily and weekly challenges with new scenarios. You’ll contest with mountains, bodies of water, and longer gaps between homes and businesses. You’ll even get those road tiles back to build in a new location.Īs you progress through your planning of each city, new geographical roadblocks make things more interesting. Thankfully, you can destroy any roads you’ve already created and rebuild with no penalty. Busy intersections slow down your originally-conceived plans, and you might have to redesign. The trouble starts to build (in a fun way) as your city grows and traffic becomes more congested. Your sole purpose is to make sure that cars get from point A to point B as quickly as possible. There’s no worry about natural disasters or constituents to keep happy. You’ll never need to manage an economy outside of your allotted street tiles and power ups. Mini Motorways plays more like a puzzle game than a hardcore city planner, and I found that much more inviting. With each power up comes a fresh set of roadway tiles to your inventory. These include bridges (for allowing roads to cross rivers), traffic lights, roundabouts, and motorways. At the end of each week, you’re given the option of two “power ups” to help with your city transit planning. You’re limited by a set number of road tiles that you can draw, however. If a building goes without enough traffic for a period of time, the game is over. Your goal is to make your city run as efficiently as possible with no business building left without cars of the same color arriving regularly. As days go by, randomly generated buildings (with multiple colors) will begin to pop up, raising the complexity of your city. The game’s AI takes over, and cars will automatically drive to and from each location. See a red house and a red location? Simply drag a path between the two. Sounds simple enough, right? At first, that’s totally the case. Your goal is to draw roads between homes and like-colored places of business. Rather than managing an entire city, you’re solely responsible for managing traffic patterns. Even the art style is aesthetically pleasing, opting for simple yet elegant take on the genre. There’s nothing overly complex about how this game functions. Unlike other city builders, Mini Motorways takes a very minimalist approach, something I appreciate a great deal. It’s very simple to learn but ramps up in complexity very quickly, offering a fun, satisfying challenge.

Mini Motorways released recently on PC in 2021 and very recently on Nintendo Switch. Both games are city transit simulators with the earlier game focusing on trains and the latest game on cars. Back in September of 2019, Mini Motorways released on iOS as a follow-up to Dinosaur Polo Club’s Mini Metro.
