# Arenas (Mini-Games)

Arena mini-games are where the core gameplay and action happen. It is where players go to test their skills and chase leaderboards. Ninjaz: Shards of Ninava will start off with a small number of arenas, and will continue to grow over time, especially when the game matures and the built arenas feature becomes available.

### How it Works

When you enter the game lobby you will be presented with the map of Ninava. Each region will display a set of arena mini-games of which you can enter to play.

Arena mini-games cost Energy to play. Players without $NINJAZ and Ninjaz NFTs can only play a certain amount of arena mini-games per day.&#x20;

Energy resets every 24 hours. If players want to continue playing arena mini-games, they will need to purchase more Energy in the Marketplace using $NINJAZ.

Regions are also categorized into themes, representing different gameplay styles.
