Build your village, start a clan, and compete in epic Clan Wars together with millions of players.

There are multiple troops like barbarians, wizards, giants, golems, and more.

You can join a clan or start your own and battle in Clan Wars.

Plan your strategy with unique troops, spells, and heroes.
