Clash of Clans

I asked my son the other day what I should blog about and without missing a beat he told me "Blog about Clash of Clans because it's awesome!"

So, here you go world, a post about Clash of Clans!

My kids have been playing this game for a while and my 8 year old has been begging me to get it so I could play with them. I hemmed and hawed and dragged my feet, but a few weeks ago, I was having some big joint issues and could barely walk. So I got set-up on the couch and told my son he could finally teach me to play this game! He was thrilled.

I dutiful downloaded the app. I got my in-game name and started playing.

He told me all about getting enough gold and elixir. He told me about building my army up, getting some good defenses and to upgrade, upgrade, upgrade as I could!

My village area so far!

So I did. I upgraded. I bought. I built an army. I played some battles.

Someone we know started a clan, so I'm now a member of it! I've impressed my children with what I've done so far. I don't know how long they will remain impressed, but for now they think that their mom has some skills (little do they know I've been playing video games longer than any of them have been alive! LOL!)

So  if you're looking for a fun game, try Clash of Clans. It's a pretty fun game and it's not a game you need to spend hours playing!
