“Clash Royale” is a mobile game that was released by Supercell on March 2, 2016. It is a strategy game that puts two people against each other in a battle for crowns. Basically, the player has to defend their two princess towers and their king tower from the other player, while also trying to attack the other player’s towers. It’s a lot like chess, only with a lot more pieces that can do a bunch of different things. 

Ever since “Clash Royale” came out, it has taken schools by storm. There is a clan feature, which lets players create a group with their friends where they can trade and battle each other. 

Trading is cool because if someone needs a specific card to be able to upgrade it, they can bargain with their friends. Battling is also very useful because players can test out different decks and setups without having to worry about their rank falling. 

The game is a great way to settle real life problems as well. If two people are in an argument they can just 1V1 and settle it in the game. It’s so satisfying to three-crown someone, which means the player has destroyed all of the other’s towers. It’s also nerve racking when the game goes into sudden death, which means the next tower destroyed decides the game regardless. 

The only thing downside to the game is that sometimes, when entering a game, the player gets set up against someone who is at such a high level that it isn’t even worth playing that game. 

Overall, “Clash Royale” is a great game and a great way to procrastinate and kill time.
