About the Game

Have you ever been stuck at a game night waiting and waiting for others to take their turn? Or played word games where the only words that came to mind are BORED or RAGE? What if you took that RAGE, built it back and made it GREAT? RAID's unique gameplay brings everyone together!

RAID is a fast-paced party game for players of all ages - it's great for adults who love word games and are uber-competitive, as well as more casual players and kids. There's even a second board on the reverse side where it’s easier to form words. RAID is perfect to encourage children to have fun with words and you get TWO games in ONE BOX!

One player rolls the dice and takes the number of letters indicated on the dice from the bag and places them face up in the circle for everyone to see. At a quick pace the next player does the same. As soon as any letters are in the circle, it’s everyone’s turn. To form a word you take letters from the circle. The first player to shout out a word grabs the letters and fits them on their board in one of their rows.

Anyone can steal or RAID any word from another player's board by combining it with one or more letters from the circle to form a new word. Note: the new word has to have a completely new meaning to be a valid RAID. New letters are constantly being added so be sure to look out for new opportunities on your road to victory.

There are several ways to win: Be the first player to complete three rows in your field. Be the player with the most points after a pre-agreed time limit. Be the player with the most points after all the letters tiles have been drawn.

The RAID App is here for everyone and you can download it on your phone, tablet or personal computer right now!
