Is there a game like SpaceChem, but for electric circuit diagrams?

yaknow, placing resisters/capacitors/relays/diodes/LEDs/etc, make your own transistors

Look to Zachtronics's other games, https://store.steampowered.com/app/504210/SHENZHEN_IO/

Uh, sort of. There's a game called Prime Mover that is ostensibly about circuit design, but I don't know much about circuits and it's clearly more interested in computer logic than the mechanical workings of actual circuit boards.

It's good! Also very hard.

Those two games are great, although they're not really what the OP is looking for. Two of Zachtronics free games might get closer, although they're obviously a little unpolished. Part of me suspects Zachtronics may make a spiritual successor of one of them as their next title.

Silicon Zeroes is about low-level computer design, MHRD is about gate level synthesis, DLS (only at itch) is about circuit schematic capture.

I don't think any game is gonna match just getting an Arduino, a breadboard, some parts, and just DO EET. If you want more muscle, get an ESP32. If you want to Go DeEpEr, get a book like "Designing Video Game Hardware". There's an open cpu architecture being born RIGHT NOW, follow along with Risc-V. KiCad is the real deal for board design, I think Contextual Electronics has free stuff on it.

Follow along with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNr_LhPoBc0 . It's nuts how many resources are out there!

well, when I was a kid I had a 160 in 1 electrical play kit that had a bunch of resistors and capacitors and an LED and a speaker and a relay and a bunch of other things and I wanted to recapture the magic

A Raspberry Pi kit would likely be a good option then.

Keep an eye out for this game: Logic World. Comes out in summer, and seems very much like what you're looking for.

There is now Turing Complete, currently in EA

Also, check out the project textbook The Elements of Computing Systems (perhaps better known as NAND To Tetris)
