Mini Motorways: Minimalist Strategy Game for Road Network Building

Design and build a growing road network, directing increasing traffic flow efficiently, in Mini Motorways, a game where connecting roads between houses, stores, and offices adapts to expanding neighborhoods.

What is Mini Motorways?

Mini Motorways is a minimalist strategy video game developed and published by Dinosaur Polo Club. The game was released in July 2021 for PC, Mac, iOS, and Apple Arcade. An Android version was released later in the year.

In Mini Motorways, players take on the role of a city planner tasked with designing an efficient road infrastructure to support a growing metropolis. The core gameplay involves connecting roads between constantly spawning houses, stores, and offices to create a functional network that can handle increasing traffic volume.

As the city expands into new neighborhoods, players must adapt their road systems by adding new roads, bridges, traffic lights and motorways. Efficient infrastructure earns points over time, while gridlocked traffic results in game over. Players must balance optimization and expansion to keep traffic flowing as long as possible.

With its minimalist visual style and intuitive road drawing mechanics, Mini Motorways offers accessible yet challenging city-building gameplay. The game generates new city layouts each playthrough for endless replayability. It has received praise for its aesthetics and ability to turn a complex simulation into an engaging puzzle-like experience.
