noun ambigus

1. countable, dated An entertainment at which a medley of dishes is set on at the same time; a buffet. When straiten'd in your time, and servants few, You'd richly then compose an ambigu; Where first and second course, and your desert, All in one single table have their part.
2. uncountable A French card game, somewhat like poker, but of earlier origin and involving different scoring of hands, played with a 40 card deck (four suits of Ace through 10). In France during the following century primero became ambigu, and a little later another variation, called brag, sprang up in the west of England, from which poker is more directly descended in its American form.
