NOTE: THIS SANDBOX IS NOT THE OFFICIAL MINI METRO ARTICLE, IT IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO HAVE FUN

Basics
Mini Metro is a game where you manage a rapidly expanding city metro. You connect big shapes (stations) to each other, which starts a line. A locomotive travels on that line, picking up passengers and putting them at the appropriate station. A passenger is a small shape right next to a station, and they want to go to the station shape that they are (for example, a triangle passenger waiting at a circle will want to go to a triangle station). If lines are not connected to the shape, the passenger will not get delivered.

Rivers are the thick, blue lines (grey if you're playing in Montréal) running across the map. If you want to build a line across a river, you will have to use a tunnel/bridge. You have a limited amount of tunnels/bridges, which you have a chance of getting at every budget increase.

Carriages are things you can put on the end of locomotives to give them extra space, and surprise, you also only get them from the weekly budget increase (unless, of course, you're playing in Mumbai, where you actually start with 3 carriages).

Locomotives are, you know, the trains that travel on the lines! They have a capacity of 6 passengers in most maps (the exceptions being Cairo and Mumbai where the capacity is only 4 passengers). You start with 3 in every single map and get awarded one locomotive every single weekly budget increase (and yes, there are exceptions: osaka, where you can get a shinkansen (extra fast locomotive) or 2 locomotives, and hong kong, where you get 2 locomotives instead of one). The only map that doesn't have locomotives is Melbourne, which has trams which go at a set speed (pretty slow), but ignore the slowness of acute angles.

Lines are the rails the locomotives/trams travel on! You can't deliver passengers without them. You have a chance of getting one line every weekly budget increase. Certain maps have less lines than others, such as Saint Petersburg, and Melbourne.

Maps
London! The classic map. You start with 3 tunnels, have 7 lines, and stations have a capacity of 6 passengers before overcrowding. The station loading rate is moderate on a computer, but it is relatively high if you're playing on mobile.

London 1960, the other version of London. This map will be available after you get 1000 passengers in London. The station loading rate is *a bit higher* than London, and same as London in all the other stuff.

Paris is a pretty easy map. You should be able to get a pretty high score in this, although the station capacity is lower. 4 passengers before it overcrowds, that's the station capacity. You have 7 lines and the station loading rate is honestly pretty low. You start with 4 tunnels, which hey, is more than London!

Paris 1937 is slightly harder, but you will get a high score in this as well. The river is slightly different, but that wouldn't change anything. 4 tunnels, same station capacity as regular Paris, 7 lines (different colors), and a low station loading rate that's higher than Paris.

New York City is one of the harder maps. There are many rivers and you only start with 3 bridges, and the station loading rate is relatively high. You have 7 lines and start with 3 locomotives.

New York City 1972 is even harder than New York City as the station loading rate is higher than in regular New York! You have the same basic things as in regular New York but with slightly different rivers and different colored lines.

Berlin may be even harder than New York City! The station loading rate is very high and you only start with 2 tunnels, which makes it more difficult. You only get a choice of 1 tunnel every budget increase instead of 2 tunnels as in most other maps. You have 7 lines, as in most maps.

Chicago has a chance of starting with 2 stations, a circle and a triangle. It would likely be easier this way because you could get more budget increases before things start to escalate. You start with 3 bridges, and have 7 lines. These lines are in the colors of the rainbow. The station loading rate is moderate-high, which makes it difficult.

Budapest is like Berlin in the way that you start with 2 tunnels and only have a choice of 1 tunnel, but the station loading rate is lower than in Berlin, which can allow you to get higher scores. You start with 7 lines,
