It's a neat trick: Supercell clearly knows better than to try to start from scratch with its user base by releasing something like Clash of Clans 2 when everyone is so deeply invested in Clash of Clans. The Builder Base, as it's called, looks more or less like Clash of Clans at night, at least on the surface — under the hood is a different story. My Clash of Clans base became a burden a long time ago, operating more like an every growing checklist more than anything else. I hardly play these days, but I'm finding this Builder Base more than enough reason to go back. The new mode does feel more aggressively monetized than the base game, but it feels less onerous because the base game is still there, across the water.
