Camel Up 2nd Edition

Description

Ladies and gentlemen: start your… camels? Camel Up was one of the most crazy racing games you could buy, full of exciting twists and turns. This is a second edition from eggertspiel of the original 2014 game. It retains all the fabulous fun from the base game, and provides some cool extras, too! What cool extras, you ask? As well as new artwork, there’s engraved dice, an improved, sturdy pyramid design as well as extra modules. Camel Up might feature a camel race, but it’s not strictly a racing game. It’s more of a betting game, where up to eight players aim to make as much money at the races as possible. The race is one lap around the pyramid, with five coloured camels participating. The pyramid itself is like a dice cup, with each camel having a corresponding d6 die (faces numbered 1-3, twice).On a player’s turn, they can do one of a few different actions. They can shake the pyramid and release one die, moving that colour camel said spaces forward. If camels share a spot on the racetrack, they sit on top of one another. If a camel’s die gets revealed, they move and carry any other camels sitting on top of them, too. Place an oasis or a desert to impact the racetrack. Help or hinder your favourite camel!Why? Because players can bet on which camel they think will lead the race at the end of the ‘leg’. (A leg equates to once all camel dice have come out of the shaker.) Or, players can also place bets on which camel they think will win or lose, outright. The stakes pay out better the earlier you gamble. The second edition of Camel Up also provides two rogue camels that race in the opposite direction. They could end up carrying other camels the wrong way around the track! Camel Up is one of the most fun and entertaining family games on the market today. Player Count: 3-8 playersTime: 30-45 minutesAge: 8+
