Weird question- would Clash of Clans (mobile game I played for 8 years) count as a hobby?

No. Only Candy Crush, Pokémon Go and Fortnite.

anything you do in your free time that you enjoy should count as a hobby

Are you proud of your participation? Did it teach you anything? What effect does it have on you/why do you play?
These are the exact questions that got me thinking because it is a game that requires team participation, even though its all virtual. Its definitely skill building, social, helped me "teach" through discord, and it has been a pretty important part of my life. Even though its just a stupid game in other people's eyes!

I’d be careful. I love a good video game too and you can learn a lot, but there is a stigma about people who play a lot of video games and having no social skills or being weird

I see no problem with listing it as a hobby, or even using it as a topic for your "anything else" essays, as long as it is clear from the rest of your application that you have a variety of interests, and can interact well with other people. We're all different, and that's not a bad thing!

8 years on a phone game? Not unless you're at least town hall 10 with maxed troops bud.

Yes.
I'm playing Stalingrad '42 right now...board game, not computer, but they're both games and both hobbies. My son was a fanatic about CofC when he was in middle school.
