Ambush is an abstract strategy game for 2 players. Two stashes, one per player and 4 Martian Coasters are needed. 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. The winner is the player who has captured the most pips' worth of opposing pyramids.

A <sup>{{PL|::S|black|3em}}</sup> would result in a tie, which is not sufficient to cause a capture.
