Space Raid!

Modern Conquest and War Games

Space Raid! is a 1978 board game published by House of Pilgrim. Its Gameplay section states it is 'a game in which each player is in command of a fleet consisting of 48 ships from six classes of ship,' contesting control through space combat. David Ladyman reviewed it for The Space Gamer magazine (No. 42, August 1981) and was unimpressed, writing that it 'isn't challenging enough for regular gaming, or fun enough for those 3 a.m. sessions,' and that even 'for your 8-year-old niece or nephew ... you could make a better buy, at half the price.' It is catalogued among board games introduced in 1978. Further detail on its exact rules and player count beyond the fleet-command premise is outstanding for a later research pass.
