Your cart is empty.
Your cart is empty.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!

Tap into your inner desert sheikh with this fast paced camel racing game. This game is mostly luck but there’s a strategy to how the bets unfold. First off this game is best played with Bollywood SD Music’s song “Camel Racing” 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. There’s 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.

Kids to grandparents loved the game! Pretty easy to learn. Everyone is engaged in the game getting excited about camels they bet on all the while laughing at other bettors sorrows. Enough strategy and variability for replay ability.

This is a fun and engaging betting game on what Camel will win the race. Things can take a twist at the end! Easy to learn with moving pieces. Best played with 4-5 people. My eight year old can play.

Took a little while to read through the instructions, but the game play is relatively easy once you’ve played it once. It’s become one of our family favorites, we play it with a 7 and 9 year old and it’s 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!

El juego me encantó a mí y a mi grupo de amigos, todos sus detalles son increíbles, los cartones son de alta calidad y los camellos se ven muy padres. El juego es muy fácil de entender incluso con las instrucciones en inglés. Creo que es un buen juego para alguien que tiene un grupo grande de amigos ya que se uede jugar hasta de 8 jugadores, el juego puede ser de 20 minutos o hasta 40 depende de los dados. Es un juego de probabilidad o "suerte" en cada ronda las apuestas pueden cambiar drásticamente y eso es lo que lo vuelve emocionante.

What's it about?I’ve described it before as combining “two of my favorite things: gambling and Mario Party chaos.” The premise sounds simple — you’re betting on a camel race — 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 — 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, I’ve found — no group I’ve 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 you’re 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 — the only penalty for any bad bet is the loss of a single coin and you can’t go into debt, so players can easily engage without stressing about risk. Needless to say, if you’re averse to gambling you’ll want to skip this one… but after recent plays, a family friend who’s 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 — while certainly impressive — can also get in the way at a crowded table. I wish there was a way to remove it without damaging the game.

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, había jugado con otra edición con la pirámide de cartón y los camellos de madera y este me pareció mejor y más durable

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 l’ancienne version, le jeu est top , Je ne comprends même pas pourquoi il n’est plus produit actuellement c’est vraiment dommage car tous joueurs de jeu de société devrais l’essayer ! 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 qu’il soit en rupture totale 🙂
