Clash of Clans is a free-to-play mobile strategy video game developed and published by Supercell. The game was released for iOS platforms on August 2, 2012, and on Google Play for Android on October 7, 2013.
The game takes place in a fantasy-themed world where the player is the chief of a village. The player's task is to build their own village using the resources gained from attacking other player's villages; earning rewards, buying them with medals or by producing them at their own village. To attack opponents, players must train different kinds of troops using resources.
The main resources are gold, elixir and dark elixir. Players can join hands to create clans which have groups of up to fifty people, who can then participate in Clan Wars together, donate and receive troops, and chat with each other.
Clash of Clans is a game in which players form groups called clans, train troops, and attack other players to earn resources. There are four currencies or resources in the game. Gold and elixir can be used to build and upgrade defenses and traps that protect the player's village from other players' attacks and to build and upgrade buildings. Elixir and dark elixir are also used to train and upgrade troops and spells. Gems are the premium currency. Attacks are rated on a three-star basis and have a maximum time limit of three minutes.
