Another sure fire way to earn NP is to play games! If not for that reason, playing games also earns you pretty little trophies that make your user-lookup much nicer to see, or maybe just to pass time when youre bored looking at the chatboards. What games to play you ask? Well, read on!

1. Try your hand at the featured game. It won't hurt, I promise! (If youre not that good at it, at least you still got double the NP!)
   
   
2. If getting trophies are your goal and you're not sure if you can reach high scores the other game-hogs have out there, these games guarantee you a trophy and some prizes if you play a certain number of times: Cheat (you get battlecards everytime you win, and a trophy after the 3rd, 5th and 7th rounds!); Sakhmet Solitaire (not much NP payoff, but very easy to play, and if youre lucky enough to win twice, you get a shirt and a trophy!); Snow Wars (you get snowballs everytime you beat an opponent, and a trophy after a few rounds!); Pyramids (guaranteed some NP everytime you play, and a trophy after just winning three times!); Beat Punchbag Bob! (not necesarrily for those anti-violence peeps, but hey, if you got a chance to fight something thats willing and wont hit you back, wouldn't you? Lots of patience required if your pets not strong enough, but if you really really want a little trophy of punchbagbob in your lookup, then by all means, have at it!).
   
   
3. If you have decided to earn your own NP instead of begging, here are a few games that are worth it to be played, (meaning, the lesser time spent, the more NP gained, the better!): Poogle Solitaire (watch this page in the future for a solution to this puzzle that'll guarantee you 750nps!) ; Ice Cream Factory (nothings easier than just sitting back and moving your mouse left and right. This game's easy as ice cream!); Meerca Chase (c'mon, you play this all the time on your phone! :) How much harder is it when the screens bigger, and when you're rewarded with NP after?); Whack-A-Staff-Member (perfect opportunity to release a little tension and get a bit of revenge at the neopets staff, "this ones for the time i was buying that Ona and your site went down!" "this ones for springing the pant devil on me when i just bought a baby paintbrush!" a promising feel good afterwards game!); Scorchy Slots (costs 5np per play. A good investment at a game thats giving out faeries and map pieces. If you have enough NP to spare, play this daily until your pet gets bored. Odds are better than Vegas, random codestone events happen at least once, and spending a few hundred NP's on a faerie or a map piece isn't so bad is it?).
   
   
4. If youre good at a game, play it regularly! Its the best way to pass time when you're waiting for the next restock.
