What is the objective of Clash of Clans?

[Cristian]

short term goal; complete all achievements.

long term goal; max out.

Getting the most trophies is the endgame. If you reach #1 on the global ladder, then you've won Clash of Clans.

[Kenchafer]

To make Supercell rich. I'm just answering on Supercell's behalf. I, on the other hand, to learn the abilities needed to successfully attack my enemies and work on the tools needed to defend my base.

To have fun playing/socializing with the members in my clan and the thrill of a successful attack. Have been in almost a hundred wars and I still get nervous making those war attcks.

According to my son, age 12, this game is basically all about colors changing on the screen. Remember all that green and brown stuff in your village when you first started?

[Pranav]

the possible objective is max out TH10/ cap 2 bill every achievement (it is possible altho extremely hard)
the impossible objective is highest cups/legend cups (since those can go infinite)

Everyone has to answer this for his or herself.

The objective is to fully max your base.

Speak for yourself.

Seems like the Clash Community is very opinionated about the objectives of Clash. Looks like everyone has their different goals set, and some say that the wider goal is to get to the top of the leaderboards, which I have to agree with, would be quite a huge achievement. Getting all of the achievements however, is probably one of the toughest things to do in Clash, especially considering you'd have to attack 2500 TH10s to get the inferno achievement!

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and opinions about the objectives of the game. It's clear that there is no real "objective," but lots of smaller goals in the game itself. Keep sharing, I'd love to hear what your goals are currently

In my mind I want to get on the top 200 board personally and clan wise. Not even going to try until I max my base and troops out so that is my current goal. I can't believe I have been playing this game for over a year and half. Supercell has certainly made something that keeps me entertained. I also enjoy the chatting with the clan members and learning from them. I also enjoy making new base designs. I am always re-designing because I keep getting beat. I know I will never make the perfect base but I keep chasing that carrot in front of my nose.

The objective is to zap every gem box you see and get free gems
