Country Clash Explained: Orbs, Clones and the Area Scoreboard
Country Clash is a hands-off simulation: you choose the flags, press play, and watch the balls compete for space. It is meant as a playful flag-and-physics toy, not a statement about anyone. This guide explains the rules underneath so you can read what is happening on screen.
Choosing your countries
You first choose how many countries take part, from two to five. Then you pick them from a list of 194 countries, with a search box so you can find any flag quickly. Each country starts with one small flag ball.
Matches with two or three countries are fast and easy to follow. With four or five, the scoreboard wraps onto a second row and the arena gets busy, which makes for a livelier game.
The two orbs
Two power orbs bounce around the square arena together with the flag balls. The amber SIZE orb makes any ball that touches it grow. The cyan +1 orb creates a twin of that ball at the same size as the original.
Each power affects only the ball that touched it, not the whole team. So the order matters: a ball that grows first and clones later produces larger copies than one that clones first.
Orbs affect each other
When a SIZE orb and a +1 orb meet, the +1 orb gets bigger and a new SIZE orb splits off. Over time this means power-ups slowly multiply, up to a maximum of eight. A larger +1 orb is also easier for balls to hit, so the pace picks up as the game goes on.
Reading the scoreboard
The scoreboard shows what share of the square each country covers, under the heading "Who will take more area". Balls from different countries never merge; they bounce apart, and bigger balls push smaller ones aside.
Together the balls can fill only about 70% of the square, so scores tend to settle once space runs out. There is no timer or declared winner. You decide when the result is clear enough.
Ideas for fun matches
Try pairing countries with very different flag colours so the balls are easy to tell apart. Pick your own country against a rival from a favourite sport. Or choose five countries from five continents and see whether the result matches your guess.
Because there are no controls and the outcome is random, it works well as a shared guessing game: each person picks a country and you see whose flag covers the most area. Open Country Clash and give it a try.
