Clash of Clans: What is it?
Clash of Clans (also known as 'CoC') is a strategy game, in which you build your own village, earning Gold and Elixir, Gems and the all new currency, Dark Elixir, to buy Defences, Army buildings, Troops, and more!

So, you want to play Clash of Clans; well, do you know how to play?

As I've said before, Clash of Clans is a strategy game in which you build a village. There are lots of different types of buildings in this game, such as Defences (Cannons, Hidden Teslas, Wizard Towers), Army buildings (Barracks, Army Camps and Heroes), Rescourses (Elixir Storage, Gold Mine, Dark Elixir Storage and Builders Huts) and Decorations (National Flags, Flower Beds and more!).

You start off with a simple base, with no Defences- a Town Hall, one Builders Hut, and you are forced to buy more. When you buy a building, under no circumstances should  you speed up with Gems. If you do, you will regret it later, as it takes a long time to earn Gems.

I forgot to mention this: Currencies. There are four currencies in the game. Gold, Elixir, Gems, and the newest, Dark Elixir. Gold, the most valued main currency, is used to buy Defences, Decorations, Elixir Storages and Elixir Collectors. You can also use Gold to upgrade the Town Hall, Elixir Collectors, Defences and Elixir Storages. Spells can also be bought with Gold.

Elixir, the other main currency, is slightly less valued. You can use Elixir to buy Gold Storages, Gold Mines, Army Camps, Barracks, Dark Barracks, the Labratory and Spell Factory, and upgrade all of those. Elixir is used to train regular Troops, but not Dark Troops.
