Clash of Clans is a free-to-play strategy game from Supercell. It is set in a medieval fantasy world and players are tasked with building a village, training troops, forming clans and attacking other players' villages. Players can build a variety of buildings, and train troops in their barracks. Troops can be upgraded to increase their power. Players can join together to form clans, and these clans can be further divided into sub-clans. Even though Clash of Clans is free to play, it does have some non-cosmetic features that can be purchased through the use of a premium currency called gems. In Clash of Clans, players are able to build and upgrade their village, create and train armies, and most importantly, participate in battles to protect and expand their territory. The player starts with a single village, but can soon build more to form a clan of his own.
