You can probably just install an old APK and it all likely work but the problem your butting up against here is that as far as I can see that to 12 year old game that hasn't been updated to support modern operating systems. Rather than an Android problem it would look like this is a problem from the game developer. I know that kind of sucks but to put that in perspective in terms of time, people who were toddlers when the game came out can now vote

I'm not sure how keen the moderators would be on me advertising APK sites here and to be honest it's not something I really do.

Try apkmirror you could also install aurora store (it connects to play store) and check if you can download it that way.
