	Description Edit \| History

Ambush is an abstract strategy game for 2 players. Two Icehouse stashes and 4 Martian Coasters are needed, one per player. Players will either play one of their 15 pyramids on the board or set a pyramid aside to rotate a coaster. Either action may allow them to capture a pyramid belonging to their opponent.
