Nyvara Guide

Welcome to Nyvara

Nyvara is a browser-based, blocky isometric real-estate game set on a Wall-Street-style financial district. You spawn in the plaza in front of the New York Stock Exchange and build a property empire one building at a time.

It runs entirely in your browser — no download, no account. Your name, cash, materials and buildings are saved on your device automatically.

Controls

A prompt at the bottom of the screen always tells you what T or E will do wherever you are standing.

Your First Building

1. Use W A S D to walk to a vacant lot — a dashed gold fence with a green $price sign.
2. Stand on it and press T to claim it (pays a small amount of Cash).
3. Walk around clicking steel girders and gravel piles to gather Steel and Concrete.
4. Back on your lot, press E to build up — it becomes a penthouse high-rise.
5. Tenants move in and pay rent over time. Press T on the building (or the Collect Rent button) to bank it.

Districts

The city is one connected map split into flavour districts. They share the same rules — the difference is the skyline.

• Financial District — the centre, around the NYSE plaza and fountain. Glass towers.
• The Exchange — the older quarter; more stone and brick buildings.
• Lower Manhattan — dense mid-town blocks south of the plaza.
• Midtown — the tall-tower corner to the north-east.
• The Battery — the waterfront down by the harbour.

Landmarks

Click a landmark building to use it.

• New York Stock Exchange — the columned building with the giant flag. Opens the property Marketplace.
• Trading Floor — also opens the Marketplace.
• Bull & Bear Club — the casino: Blackjack, Roulette and the Spin Wheel.
• Federal Reserve & Federal Hall — the classical columned halls of the district (flavour landmarks).

Map & Minimap

The minimap in the bottom-left shows the whole city at a glance: roads, water, and every plot colour-coded — gold = yours, orange = for sale, green = a vacant lot you can claim. The camera follows your character as you move.

Claiming Lots

Vacant lots are marked with a dashed gold fence, a green $price tag and a small FOR SALE sign. Walk onto the lot and press T (or use the panel's Claim button) to buy it for Cash. Once claimed it's yours to build on.

Buying Buildings

Some buildings already standing are listed for sale — they show an orange $price tag. Walk up next to one and press T to buy it outright with Cash. The seller's name (a Wall Street regular) is on the deed.

Tall towers without a price tag belong to other tycoons and are not for sale — they're just part of the skyline.

Building Up & Penthouses

Any lot or building you own can be developed. Stand on it and press E (or the Build up button) to add a tier. Each tier costs Steel, Concrete and Cash:

Buildings you own render as distinctive penthouse high-rises so you can spot your portfolio across the skyline.

Collecting Rent

Developed buildings earn tenant rent (in Cash) automatically over time — the more floors, the more rent. Rent piles up in each building until you collect it:

• Stand on one of your buildings and press T, or use the Collect Rent button in its panel, to collect that building.
• Use the 💰 Collect Rent button in the top bar to sweep rent from every building at once.

Your top-bar Portfolio figure tracks the total resale value of everything you own.

Marketplace

Open the Marketplace from the 🏷️ Marketplace button (or by entering the NYSE / Trading Floor). It lists every building and lot currently for sale, sorted by price. Hit Walk there and your character paths straight to it — then press T to buy.

Steel & Concrete

Construction materials fund your towers. Click a node when you're standing next to it:

• Steel 🔩 — from steel girder stacks dotted around the streets.
• Concrete 🧱 — from gravel piles.

You spend Steel and Concrete (plus Cash) every time you build a building up a tier.

Cash

Cash 💵 is the everyday currency. You use it to claim lots, buy buildings, build up floors and place bets in the casino. You earn it from tenant rent, the Marketplace, the wallet boost, and winning at the Bull & Bear Club.

$NYV Token

$NYV ◎ is Nyvara's Solana token, shown in your wallet. Connecting a wallet links your $NYV and grants a one-time starter boost. Day-to-day buying, building and gambling all run on in-game Cash — you never need to spend $NYV to play.

Bull & Bear Club

Click the Bull & Bear Club on the map to open the casino. Three games, all played with your in-game Cash: when you win, the winnings hit your balance instantly; when you lose, the bet is gone. Minimum bet is $10.

Blackjack

Beat the dealer's hand without going over 21. Real rules:

• Number cards are face value, face cards are 10, and an Ace is 11 or 1 (whatever helps).
• Hit to take a card, Stand to hold. Go over 21 and you bust.
• The dealer reveals their hole card and draws until they reach 17, then stands.
• A two-card 21 is a Blackjack and pays 3:2. A normal win pays 1:1. A tie is a push (bet returned).
• Double down on your first two cards: double the bet, take exactly one more card, then stand.

Roulette

A European single-zero wheel (0–36). Pick a bet, set your stake and spin:

The green 0 is the house number — it loses the even-money and dozen bets.

Spin Wheel

A multiplier wheel. Set a bet and spin — your stake is multiplied by whatever segment the pointer lands on. Segments range from ✕ (lose the bet) up through 1×, 1.5×, 2×, 3×, 5× and a rare 10×. Plenty of ✕ segments keep the house edge, so big multipliers are the gamble.

Day Trading (Trading Floor)

Open the 📈 Day Trade button — or walk into the Trading Floor (the dark tower with the green up-trend on its face, off on its own at the edge of the district) — to step onto the trading floor. You sit at a desk in front of a live chart and trade real-time markets with your in-game Cash.

How it works

• Pick a market: Gold, Nasdaq, Bitcoin, $NYV or Oil — each has a live ticking price and chart.
• Set a stake and go Long ▲ (betting the price rises) or Short ▼ (betting it falls). Positions use 10× leverage, so small moves mean big swings.
• Your profit/loss updates live on the chart. Hit Close position to bank the result in Cash.
• If the price moves too far against you, the position is liquidated and you lose your stake — so don't over-leverage.

Connect Wallet & Boost

Connecting a Solana wallet (e.g. Phantom) from the landing page or the in-game menu links your $NYV and grants a one-time starter boost — extra Steel, Concrete and Cash to kick-start your first towers. You don't have to connect to play, and connecting never spends anything from your wallet — it only signs in.

Saving Progress

Your name, Cash, materials and every building you own are saved automatically in your browser's local storage. Come back any time on the same browser and your city is exactly as you left it. To wipe everything and start fresh, use Reset progress in the menu (⋯).
