Mini Motorways
The pitch
A road-network logistics puzzle about connecting homes and destinations before traffic overwhelms a growing city.
How it plays
Mini Motorways turns urban traffic into a fast, readable systems puzzle. Players draw roads, place bridges, use motorways, choose traffic lights or roundabouts, and constantly adapt as new houses and destinations appear. The challenge is not just connecting everything, but separating flows before congestion spreads through the city like a design debt you can no longer pay. It is more improvisational than Mini Metro because the street grid grows around your choices, forcing quick compromises and occasional painful rebuilds. It suits players who like logistics puzzles that stay clean, tense, and immediately understandable.

"A more acquired taste. When it clicks for its audience, it really clicks."
The ledger
+ In its favor
- "Logistics" is one of the genre's most rewarding loops
– Worth knowing
