Clash Royale is another mobile hit from the team at Supercell that combines the likes of their other popular title, Clash of Clans with collectible cards and tower defence.

Battles can be started against AI and other players and involves players playing cards from your battle deck on the map in order to take out the opposing 3 towers. Spawning cards requires elixir which regenerates over time and once placed on the battlefield troops will travel down one of the two map paths.
