Mini Countries
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
The development process of Mini Countries can currently be followed in a devlog series on YouTube:
https://www.youtube.com/user/Yheeky
New demo version (v0.91) is now available as download!
Mini Countries is a level-based strategy puzzle game where a resource transport network must be built for a country.
Each level stands for a country that has different resources and characteristics. An ever increasing number of cities requires skill and good planning to meet the global demand for resources for all cities. Points can be earned by transports and generated knowledge, which in turn can be invested in the transportation network to keep your country's demand up.
FEATURES
- Build trade buildings to produce resources in your country
- Make sufficient storage buildings available
- Transport resources from storage buildings to demanding cities
- Upgrade resources by constructing industry buildings
- Import resources which are not produced in your country
- Export resources to generate knowledge
- Decide on one branch for the development of your cities: Workers' cities allow trade and industry buildings to produce resources faster and science cities improve the growth rate and thus the generation of further knowledge points
- Plan your resource production according to different seasons
- Reacts to special events
TRANSPORT
As a player, it is your task to deliver resources to demanding cities. Create a transport network by making connections between buildings to make transport possible.
SEASONS
Not every resource can be produced in every season but cities demand resources continuously. For this reason, it is important to always produce and store enough resources so that every city can be supplied with all the demanding resources at any time.
FREE UPDATES
New expansions or levels are created regularly and are available for all Mini Countries players.
Mini Countries is inspired by games like Mini Metro and Anno 1800.

I played the demo and it was pretty enjoyable! I think the tutorial could explain the mechanics a bit better, perhaps some screenshots or example videos/gifs in-game might help alleviate some confusion on mechanics. Once you get the hang of it though, it’s pretty interesting. There’s a lot of decision making to be done when placing connections, resource spots, and storage. I do think some parts could be a bit more refined. EX: I kinda wish there was a way to allocate resources automatically instead of having to manually send to each town.
Regardless, it was a fun time! Hope the updates will add and improve a lot!
Hey,
glad to hear you like the demo!
The tutorial do have animated videos above the description or what do you mean?
Yeah, that´s one thing I´ve heard a lot. Automation is something I´m currently working on. There will be an update very soon!
Cheers, Christian
Apparently I don't have working eyes! The tutorials do indeed have videos. Sorry about the confusion, please disregard that part of my comment.
Hallo Chris, habe mir die 3 YouTube-Videos bei WB angesehen und mir das Spiel gekauft. Ich finde es sehr gut, dass man sofort mitten im Spiel ist. Eine kleine Anmerkung, vielleicht lässt es sich abfangen, dass der Drag & Drop Produkt-Transport von Stadt zu Stadt durch neue Angebote am Monatsende unterbrochen wird. Ich freue mich schon auf die nächsten Level und deine angekündigten Weiterentwicklungen.
Viele Grüße Falk.
Hallo Falk,
es freut mich, dass dir das Spiel gefällt.
Deine Anmerkung setze ich gerne um - ich habe auch schon eine Idee. Wird im nächsten Update verfügbar sein :)
Die Roadmap wird sich etwas ändern, da ich einiges an Feedback bekommen habe. Die Ports auf andere Plattformen werden erstmal zurückgestellt und die PC-Version verbessert. Einen Sandbox-Modus soll es bald geben und mehr Automatisierung.
Viele Grüße,
Christian
Guten Morgen, über Writing Bull bin ich auf das Spiel aufmerksam geworden. Auf den ersten Blick hat es mir sehr gut gefallen, jedoch finde ich es schade, dass man Rohstoffe immer manuell, für mich recht umständlich verschieben muss. Sowohl von Stadt zu Stadt als auch von Lagerhaus zur Stadt. Vielleicht könnte man dort ein Upgrade für einen Karren/LKW implemntieren das es mehr automatisierung gibt, gerade wenn es komplexer wird wäre es schöner eine Art Handelsroute zu haben, welche man einrichtet und betreuen muss.
Viele Grüße
Hallo Computerboss,
schön, dass du das Spiel gefunden hast und es einen guten Eindruck bei dir hinterlassen hat :)
Automatisierung ist in jedem Fall geplant. Etwas zu tun haben, muss der Spieler aber schon noch ;) im neusten Update gibt es noch die Automatisierung für die Industriegebäude, die produzierte Waren (wie die Gewerbegebäude) automatisch zum angeschlossenen Lagergebäude schickt.
Viele Grüße, Christian
It looks really fun! But I downloaded the mac demo 0.93, and once I got past the Yheeky logo I just got a black screen, and couldn't progress past that.
Did you secure you have write permission in game directory?
It looks cool, but I have a bug in the game - the camera always moves in one direction without stopping, this is not a sticky key. Even a complete reinstallation of the game does not help
Hey, sorry to hear that. Did you enable the "Move camera on window edge" option in the settings?
I already tried with camera movement
to the borders and without. Does not help. I even cleared the player files that the game creates on the C drive
However, the most interesting thing is that I played on my old laptop in Mini Country and there was no such bug
That´s weird...never heard of that actually. In which direction is it going?
hey! I would gladly buy it if it wasn't for steam...
Hey, Steam was the first platform but maybe I´ll add it here as well in the future :)
