Clash Royale is a real-time strategy game developed by Supercell, where players engage in 1v1 battles with others to destroy towers and defeat their opponents. The game combines elements of tower defense and card collection, where players deploy troops and cast spells from a deck of cards they create. These cards represent different units, spells, and buildings from the Clash of Clans universe, and each card can be upgraded by collecting cards and earning gold.

The core gameplay is fast-paced and requires both strategic thinking and quick reflexes. Players must manage their elixir (used to deploy cards) efficiently, balance offense and defense, and learn how to counter their opponents’ cards. Matches are typically short, lasting only a few minutes, making it easy to play in short bursts.
