The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The concealed position itself or the concealed person may also be called an "ambush", and the chosen area to carry out the ambush is known as the kill zone or the trap.
- The term "ambush" is also used in animal behavior studies to describe the predation strategy of some carnivores using stealth and deception, in sociology to describe aggressive journalistic practices, and in economics to describe some marketing strategies, all of which involve an element of surprise upon the recipients.
- Ambushes as a basic fighting tactic of soldiers, law enforcement or criminals have been used consistently throughout history, from ancient to modern warfare.
Why it is Uncommon
