Clash of Clans is a long-running strategy game where players build and defend a village. Gameplay involves constructing buildings, training troops, and researching upgrades to strengthen your base against attacks from other players. You also form or join a Clan to collaborate and participate in large-scale Clan Wars.

The core loop revolves around managing resources, designing defensive layouts, and planning offensive armies for battles. Attacks are conducted by tactically deploying units and spells directly onto the enemy village using touch controls. Progression is persistent, with upgrades taking real-time to complete, encouraging regular check-ins.
