◆ Raid is a mobile app for ios and Android.
◆ This is a game in which players (one human player vs three artificial intelligence bots) compete to form words with letters from a common pool.
◆ Players can either form a word with letters solely from the pool, or raid (steal) a word from an opponent by combining that word with one or more letters from the pool to make a longer NEW word.
◆ A RAID must form a new word with a different meaning from the original word. For example a player cannot RAID the word FARM by simply adding S, ED or ER.
◆ Players may RAID their own words.
◆ Depending on the length of the word that is formed, it is positioned within a specific block on the player’s field.
◆ There are six blocks in total.
◆ In the RAID App there is no “turn taking” - any player can form a word or RAID a word at any time. This may lead to the same player forming two, three or even more words in quick succession. This is permissible.
◆ There are several ways to win:
• Be the first player to fill three blocks in your field
• Be the player with the most points after the pre-set time limit of 30 minutes
• Be the player with the most points after all the letters tiles have been drawn. There are 150 letters available in total.
◆ The RAID Board game has the same gameplay as the RAID App. In the board game players RAID from their friends rather than AI Bots.

A player can selects to either
◆ Play offline solo-play against three Artificial Intelligence bots or
◆ relax and simply watch AIs bots compete against each other.
