Emboscados has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements like dice rolls or card draws play a notable but not exclusive role in determining the game outcome. However, players have substantial ability to mitigate the effects of randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game relies on a balanced mix of luck and strategy, making it suitable for players who enjoy a combination of chance and skill.
Players play animals in a forest. Five predator cards are lined up a row; above them three random herbivore cards are placed. Each player is secretly assigned one predator and one kind of herbivore. During a turn, a player can move an open herbivore below a predator card. When two of the same herbivores are adjacent, they will either fight (if they are of the same gender) or mate (if they are of different genders). Fighting removes a card, mating adds a cub token on one of the parents. The predators eat the top four size points of herbivores in their column. Each eaten herbivore counts a point for the owner of the predator. Each surviving herbivore card or cub of the kind you control also scores a point. When a player has reached nine points, they win the game.
