Clash Royale

Clash Royale is a popular mobile game developed by Supercell. It can be played by anyone, including adults, teenagers and children, for fun and to break the monotony; thus, it’s a brain stimulator. Besides, it’s free on smartphones or large screens like on Mac.

When gaming on Clash Royale, you need cards and mana to play. Each player must build his desks of eight cards, but he or she is required to use only four cards while in the battle. When you play the card you want, it gets replaced with another one from the deck. Before choosing a card, you need to spend some mana, and the mana for each card does vary, so you won’t play just any card you want.

To control the game, you’re required to protect your territory and occupy that of your opponent by destroying their turrets. The more you play, the more chests you earn, thus unlocking more cards to continue playing.
