Can you run popular Android games on linux phones?

Recent AOSP news had me in shambles.

But I like my stupid games like clash of clans and royale.

My entourage has a lot of gamers. When we want to play together but don’t have access to our computers, we can take out out phones and play a quick game of clash or some other stuff and I’d like to keep doing this.

I’m already a fanboy of Fedora & KDE which I’m running on both my personal and workplace machine. I’d like to also “clean” my phones.

I didn't try games, but waydro.id is pretty good. I bet games run as good as other apps, unless it absolutely depends on some weird Play services stuff or has funny anticheat like Pokemon Go. Question is just which "linux phone" you want to pick. Most supported hardware is somewhat old (and maybe slower than your current phone) and Linux on smartphones has lots of quirks and annoyances.

You can try dualbooting a linux distro with an android. I expect it works, but you cannot be sure with phones.
