Mini Metro is a fun strategy and simulation video game. In this game, you get to design your very own subway system. Your goal is to make it work well for a city that is growing bigger and bigger!

How to Play Mini Metro

In Mini Metro, you act as a subway designer. You need to connect different subway stations. The main goal is to get people to the stations they want to reach.

Game Challenges

The game starts out simple and easy. But as more people arrive, it gets much harder! If a station gets too full, the game will end. Your mission is to keep the subway running smoothly for as long as you can.

Game Design and Look

Mini Metro has a very clean and modern look. The subway cars are shown as simple rectangles. The tracks are just straight lines. Even the tunnels are shown as dotted lines. This simple design helps you focus on the puzzle.

Different Station Shapes

Each subway station in Mini Metro has a unique shape. These shapes help you tell them apart.

Common Stations:

Circle Common
Triangle Uncommon

"Unique" Stations:

Pentagon Very Rare
Oval Very Rare

Only one of each "Unique" station shape can appear in any single game. This makes them special!
