The award winning game about the craziest camel race, just got even crazier! The race now includes new contestants – camels that are so confused that they start the race running in the wrong direction!

That’s not all that’s new!

The track has been significantly enhanced since your last visit – it now includes new art and components.

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!

So let the fun begin!

In Camel Up, up to eight players bet on five racing camels, trying to suss out which 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!

Off to the Camel Races

Place your bets with Camel Up, the hilarious game of betting on camel races. Winner of the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award, Camel Up invites you and up to seven of your friends to the wackiest camel races you’ll ever see. You each play as members of Egyptian high society who have gathered in the desert with one goal in mind: back the right camel and win a pile of money! Each round you can bet on the camel you think will win a leg or even the entire race. Just remember: the earlier you place your bets, the greater the potential rewards.

A Tower of Camels

Things get wacky fast once the race starts! Camels are lanky and awkward, so somethimes they land on top of each other, creating a stack of camels. The poor camels on the bottom have to carry the others toward—and sometimes across—the finish line! Camels higher up the stack are considered to be ahead of those further down, so keep stacks in mind when betting. Although, instead of placing more bets, you can always step in and try to swing the race in your favour…

Beat the Odds

In this race, it’s not just the lucky ones who strike it rich. Reading the dynamics of the race and having a good sense of timing is just as important when backing the right camels. For example, after a camel moves during a leg, its die is removed from the pyramid; this makes it easier to predict where the other camels will end up. You can also help out your favored camel by placing your desert tile to give it a boost or slow down the others.

Place Your Bets

The camels are off, but the result is far from certain. Place your bets and expect the unexpected with Camel Up, a simple, quick, and outrageously exciting family game!
