Clash of Clans

Village-building battle game

Clash of Clans is a mobile strategy game where players build villages, train troops, and attack other players' bases to loot resources.

Released in 2012, it popularized the free-to-play model with optional purchases that speed up building times.

The game spawned a genre of base-building games and remains widely played: I've been playing Clash of Clans since middle school.
