Tribal wars suffers as a game in that it requires the player to log on at different (and often exact) times of the day. This means that anyone who has a life in the real world, eg Job, relationship, children, hobby or perhaps goes on holiday is not going to do well at this.
On the good side there are interesting people to meet and certainly relationships that can build outside the game. You can play for free, there are a number of different rulesets on different servers.
On the downside playing after a couple of weeks in the free version (resticted map size and order queue) is frustrating and makes the game difficult to oversee. The amount of backbiting is equal to the social plusses.
The game has a strangely addictive quality, especially since once you have committed time and energy to it it IS difficult to stop. I played just short of 6 months.
On balance this one is a 'do not'. (value for money is XXX because it IS relatively cheap to play)
