In Camel Up, up to eight players bet on five racing camels, trying to sus out which ones will place first and second in a quick race around a pyramid. The earlier you place your bet, the more you can win — should you guess correctly, of course. Camels don’t run neatly, however, sometimes landing on top of another one and being carried toward the finish line. Who’s going to run when? That all depends on how the dice come out of the pyramid dice shaker, which releases one die at a time when players pause from their bets long enough to see who’s actually moving! This 2018 edition of Camel Up features new artwork, a new game board design, a new pyramid design, engraved dice, and new game modes, including crazy rogue camels that start the race running in the opposite direction! You never know how a race will end!

Dynamic & Fun Betting Game! (Review for Second Edition)
Tap into your inner desert sheikh with this fast paced camel racing game. This game is mostly luck but thereâs a strategy to how the bets unfold. First off this game is best played with Bollywood SD Musicâs song âCamel Racingâ playing the background from your favorite music streaming service. Thank me later for what this adds to the game.The game unfolds as players bet against camels working their way around the board by chance. The earlier bets are worth more and the latter ones worth less. Thereâs an educational value to the strategy for kids in this way (consequences). The game is easy to learn and the board is really innovative. There is a small oasis that unfolds and folds cleanly back into the board. Be careful, that part is delicate, but if treated respectfully it should last. This oasis is purely aesthetic, but adds some fun dynamism to the game board. The board art is well crafted and has a fund 3D element to it. The most standout aspect of the board is the pyramid. The pyramid is the dice distributor (roller) for the turns. The game designers could have simply had dice to toss in the regular traditional fashion, but shaking the dice in a pyramid and dropping one off the bottom is a fun innovation and the order of the dice can make a difference for initial board setup – so be sure to use the pyramid.This game is a good for a wide age range and remains fun for adults too. Overall this is a winner, with a fragile element on the board (the oasis) that needs to be treated gently.

Love this game!
Took a little while to read through the instructions, but the game play is relatively easy once youâve played it once. Itâs become one of our family favorites, we play it with a 7 and 9 year old and itâs great! Enough skill to keep the adults engaged, simple enough for younger gamers to learn!The board is cleverly designed and fun to play, the pieces are well made and sturdy. Takes about 20-30 minutes to play a round. The randomization that the pyramid gives the dice is really fun!

Camel racing chaos! Family fun? You bet!
What’s it about?Iâve described it before as combining âtwo of my favorite things: gambling and Mario Party chaos.â The premise sounds simple â youâre betting on a camel race â but it has a unique twist.How do you play?The camels move according to dice rolls. Only 5 dice can be rolled per leg of the race, and when one camel moves to share a space with another, they stack. Camels closer to the top of the stack are judged to be further along in the race â so for a stack of Blue-Purple-Red-Yellow-Green, Blue would be in first place, Purple in second, and so on down the stack. Players take turns making bets, trying to influence the camels with their spectator tiles, or moving the race along by rolling the dice.Pros & cons:The game is extremely accessible, Iâve found â no group Iâve played it with has ever seemed to dislike it, and I credit that to the simple rules and relatively low amount of strategy involved. That can be a double-edged sword, of course; if youâre HOPING for something with a greater focus on strategy, Camel Up may not be for you. But in a relatively casual setting, the game shines â the only penalty for any bad bet is the loss of a single coin and you canât go into debt, so players can easily engage without stressing about risk. Needless to say, if youâre averse to gambling youâll want to skip this one⦠but after recent plays, a family friend whoâs a high school senior AND my dad, a literal, 72-year-old senior, both took an immediate shine to it. (We ended up buying a copy for our friend on her birthday.)Anyway, as far as the game, I do have one slight pet peeve among all this praise: while the art in the newest versions of the game is markedly better than the relatively utilitarian art from previous printings, the pop-up palm tree â while certainly impressive â can also get in the way at a crowded table. I wish there was a way to remove it without damaging the game.

Fun! Fast paced! Who knew camel racing could be so entertaining?!
One of my favorite games for a larger group of people (6-8 players.) It’s easy to learn. The main objective, make the most cash by having the most consistently successful bets throughout the game.It’s silly, yet can be cutthroat too. Everyone’s engaged. Just a great overall game that stays pretty lively for the entire gameplay! I do wish the pyramid die drop worked more consistently. Have yet to find the magic touch that ensures only one die drops from it each time. But that’s a small complaint for a very enjoyable game.

Really fun family game.
Super fun game. Great for a family. It has a ton of replay-ability. It’s easy to learn quickly and the play moves pretty fast too. Every game is different which makes for a ton of fun and laughs as a family.

Super fun game for a big group
Grabbed this game during Christmas when it was on a deal for $13. This is a super fun game . Best played with a group of 6 . Quality pieces, the board looks amazing

Easy to learn, weirdly fun family game.
This was a real surprise of game for my family. We are big board game players and we often overlook the “casual” games. Anything easier than Catan isn’t really on our radar. But I picked this up on black friday based on a friend’s recommendation and it really stuck the landing with my family. My younger son (10 yo) loves the silliness and randomness of the camels. I like the “gambling” side of things that can go sideways as soon as the “crazy camels” mess with the racing camels. My older son (13) doesn’t love it as much as the rest of us, but he’ll play after a round of listening to us laugh and boo. Definitely a win.

Alors par où commencer ? non trouvable en français mais ne gêne en rien pour jouer, les règles sont facilement trouvable sur Internet ce sont sensiblement les mêmes que lâancienne version, le jeu est top , Je ne comprends même pas pourquoi il nâest plus produit actuellement câest vraiment dommage car tous joueurs de jeu de société devrais lâessayer ! La qualité des matériaux ,du plateau sont superbes et le rangement dans la boîte extrêmement bien pensé , le prix est plus que justifié , alors mon avis ça serait : acheter ce jeu avant quâil soit en rupture totale ð

El juego es sencillo y entretenido, lo he llevado con grupos de amigos que no juegan mucho y se han divertido bastante. También sus materiales me gustaron bastante, habÃa jugado con otra edición con la pirámide de cartón y los camellos de madera y este me pareció mejor y más durable
