GAME mechanics

• Hand Management - In Ambush, players must strategically select cards from their hand to maximize their plays. This mechanic requires balancing the immediate use of cards with planning future actions, anticipating opponents' moves and the impact of the remaining cards.
• Take that - This mechanic adds an element of direct confrontation, where players can interrupt and disrupt each other's plans. Skillful moves involving this mechanic can turn the game, especially if you know when to target the right opponents at the right time.
• Placing Parts - During the game, the tactical placement of pieces on the board is essential. Each piece influences the development of the game, and placing them strategically can guarantee or deny space to opponents, directly impacting on the chances of victory.
• Influence / Majority in the Area - This mechanic focuses on controlling sections of the board to gain advantages. Getting the majority in certain areas offers bonuses or control, influencing the overall strategy and dynamics of the game. I've always thought of it as leading a group of explorers through a treacherous forest.
• Pattern Recognition - Players must identify patterns on the board to optimize their moves. Understanding these configurations makes it possible to create combos or strategies that bring continuous benefits or protect against opposing attacks, like deciphering an old map where each clue leads to a new treasure.
• Modular Tray - An interesting aspect of Emboscados is its constantly changing board. This mechanic allows each game to have a different configuration, guaranteeing replayability and challenging players to adapt their strategies to new terrain conditions, such as exploring new territory with each game.
