Clash of Clans
The new "it" everyone is playing, Clash of Clans. Young and old is enjoying this game about war and strategy.
Clash of Clans is a game that requires critical thinking and planning. Players build their own village, set up defenses and create their own army. Players then collaborate with other players to form clans. The aim is to attack other players’ villages to earn points to advance in the game. This game is played globally which means it is a very social game as it allows you to connect with people worldwide. This game is highly addictive and time consuming.
Some people may say that this game is not worth the effort however it is a very pleasant game for youngsters. This game has quite a number of pros which are: being able to recover after a bad event, being able to work in teams, teamwork is key as it give you a sense of belonging and being able to analyse and keep track of a number of info at once.
I have concluded that this game is quiet educational as it gets you to analyse, plan your strategy however it is not a game kids can play without supervision because they will be in contact with quiet a massive number of strangers who could potentially be good or bad.
I had a really good experience playing this game as it had shown me how to think and I adopted strategy skills during the game which was a challenging experience but really put my thinking into gear.
Clash of clans is a game that is played by many people and has a lot of participants/is a multiplayer game, where players have troops that they must train and build a community as well as attack the other players and their troops for gold.

You also need to upgrade and renovate the hall so that you can reach higher levels. Then you want to earn the dark elixir so that you can upgrade and train your troops. There are bombs and troops to protect the community.
The clan is a group of players that work together to defeat the other clans and get stars according to the amount of damage they have caused. Gems are the currency and these gems could speed up the game.
This game could educate a young person, by teaching them to think fast as well as strategize on how to build your camp, it is also a great way to interact with different types of people and also gives an opportunity to work as teams. This will help children have an active mind and also give them a challenge.
