Ostensibly featuring the wizards of Unseen University, this is really more about life below stairs, focusing more on new characters (who work in the kitchen and 'below stairs') than on the wizards themselves. That's not to say the wizards don't have a major role to play - just that they are not the main focus of the novel, which is also built around the game of 'foot-the-ball' changing from the all-out scrap in the streets it starts out as to the more modern, played-in-a-stadium type of game it becomes at the end, in pretty much the same way that the 'real' game of football (or soccer) grew out of the medieval version.

The game allows you to connect with other players from around the world (or a more localised setting if you choose), by joining clans or through global. I personally find global chat a little frustrating, as the talk is immature and does not really aid game play. Through joining a clan, I have been able to connect with players from around the world (and in one case just up the road), and have now joined with them in other strategy games as well as on social networking. The social element of the game keeps us playing almost as much as the game play itself.
I admit in the early days of playing the game, I purchased gem packs to speed up my progress, but since the makers of clash freely give out gems (through clan games and removal of stones and bushes, as well as completed challenges through your profile), I have found that I can maintain a healthy amount of gems for purchasing spells without having to spend money.
Over the years, there have been changes to the game, however Supercell are constantly thinking forward into how to improve the quality of the game for their players. Just as clan wars started to get tiresome, clan games and shortly after clan leagues has brought back a renewed enthusiasm for the game. I am looking forward to seeing what comes in the future for the game.
