135. Hobbies: 4. iPad Games (Clash Royale)
After the craze of Clash of Clans, I got tired of waiting, and someone introduced me to a new variant, also from SuperCell..... Clash Royale.... it's small enough to play on the iPhone.... and it is similarly addictive.... each game is also short enough (2-3 minutes) that you can play it anytime, anywhere......and again, the little ways in which you can level up and small rewards all along the way make it so easy to be hooked...
