Games like mini motorways

Mini Motorways is a puzzle strategy game released by New Zealand studio Dinosaur Polo Club. It is a follow-up to their 2015 video game Mini Metro. The game tasks the player with creating roads to connect coloured houses to buildings.

The game was released on Apple Arcade in September 2019, on Microsoft Windows in July 2021, and on Nintendo Switch in May 2022.

The game plays similarly to Mini Metro, its predecessor, except it involves following a grid-like system to build road networks instead of rail networks. The game consists of drawing roads to link houses (which contain cars) to buildings of identical colours (red to red, yellow to yellow, etc.). New buildings and houses appear randomly as the game progresses. The buildings have pins which the cars of the correct color must collect. The score is the number of pins that have been collected. If too many pins accumulate on a building (seven for square buildings and ten for circular buildings), a timer is set. Once a building's timer is full, the game is over. Vehicles reaching the destination will reduce the progression of the timer slightly, and if the number of pins on the building is not greater than capacity, the timer will deplete by itself. If the timer is reduced completely, it will split back up into standard pins. Vehicles will prioritize buildings with timers to help deal with them.
