Mini Metro
Mini Metro is a sequencing strategy game where you create an ordered, efficient underground train system. It sounds like hard work, but the simple Tube-map visuals, calm music, and streamlined interactions make this relaxing, like sudoku. Dip your toe in this strategy challenge and keep the system running smoothly as the number of passengers increases.

PLAY STYLE
The simple premise and uncluttered interface are a strategy game perfectly laid bare for beginners. Daily challenges and different cities gently increase the difficulty. It's a zen management that's relaxing and taxing in equal measure.
As you progress you learn to balance your resources and make knife-edged decisions about whether more track, tunnels or tube lines are what you need. It's a challenge that grows with your ambition and is particularly fun to replay with a different strategy to coping with the increasing demands of public transport.
The result is a game that encourages strategic thinking as much as puzzle solving. Try your hand at planning an underground network, and discover how this is harder than it first appears.
