Clash royale

***Clash Royale*** is a free-to-play real-time strategy video game developed and published by Supercell.

## Gameplay

Clash Royale is a Arena tower rush game. The point of the game is to take all three towers down within the three minute timer. If by the end of the match both players have the same amount of crowns, a three minute sudden death will occur. If by the sudden death the players still have the same amount of crowns, there will be a tie breaker which means that whoever's tower has been dealt the most damage will lose and the opposing player wins. In rare cases if the players somehow win at the same time or do no damage to each other, they both get the win but gain no trophies. To win, the player has to place down cards that cost Elixir and have different categories, these categories being Troops, Buildings and Spells.

Troops are cards that, after placed, can move around the arena. Some troops are labeled as air troops meaning that they fly over the troops who walk on the ground. A ground troop can only attack these air troops if they are designated to target air troops ALONG with ground troops. Some troops are called win-conditions, meaning they only target buildings and completely ignore any defensive troops.

Building cards are much different. While troops can move, buildings are stationary. Building cards can distract troops from the tower while also performing some kind of action. These actions may be just attacking, or they may spawn troops every set period of time.

Spells are the third and last card category. Most spell cards can be place anywhere on the map (With the exception of The Log, Barbarian Barrel and the Royal Delivery). Spells are your easiest way on taking down opposing forces without using troops. There are a variety of spells with different abilities. The first type of spell is the light spell. These spells are low elixir and do minimal damage. They are typically used to kill low health troops, with the exception for earthquake, which does heavy damage to buildings, and zap, which, while being able to kill swarms, can also be used to reset the attack of any troop or building.

Clash Royale also has a way to rank players. This is done with trophies and arenas. Trophies are gained through winning battles. Collecting a certain amount of trophies moves you up on a system called trophy road. Trophy road is split up by arenas. Each arena has rewards and new cards to unlock (with the exception of Dragon Spa and Legendary Arena). There are twenty arenas. These twenty arenas are: Goblin Stadium, Bone Pit, Barbarian Bowl, P.E.K.K.A's Playhouse, Spell Valley, Builder's Workshop, Royal Arena, Frozen Peak, Jungle Arena, Hog Mountain, Electro Valley, Spooky Town, Rascal's Hideout, Serenity Peak, Miner's Mine, Executioner's Kitchen, Royal Crypt, Silent Sanctuary, Dragon Spa, and Legendary Arena. There is a tutorial arena known as training camp but isn’t counted as an arena.

Another feature in Clash Royale are clans. Clans are a team of up to fifty people. In Clans you can donate/trade cards, participate in friendly battles or just talk and have fun with friends. There is one more important feature in clans. Clan wars! Clan wars is where five clans have a war with each other. At the end of the week each of the clans in the Clan wars is rewarded a chest based on how good they did.
