For those unaware, Clash Royale is a popular freemium real-time multiplayer strategy game that takes place in the ‘Clash of Clans’ universe. It is free-to-play for casual gamers, but offers in-app purchases for added advantage. Available on both iOS and Android, it requires players to build their village using resources gained from attacking other players. Groups of up to 50 people can join-up to create ‘Clans’ that can then fight against rival clans.
