## Description
Hey, everyone! Ready to give those camel races an extra kick? If you're already into the Camel Up universe, this little promotional expansion brings a fresh and interesting twist. "Camel Up Cards: Catch'Up-Trophies" was released as part of the 2016 advent calendar and adds a cool element to the game's endgame. 

The idea is straightforward: starting from the second race, you'll place special trophies on betting cards. One trophy goes to the 'overall winner' card of the camel currently in fifth place (if its card is still available), and another to the 'overall loser' card of the camel in first place (again, if its card is free). These trophies alter the dynamics of the final payout round. If a betting card has one or more of these trophies on it, its value is adjusted. This adds an extra layer of strategy and a bit of controlled chaos, as you now have another reason to keep a close eye on who's leading and who's trailing, and which bets might yield more (or less)! 

It's a small expansion, focused on a specific moment in the game, but it can turn the tables in your favor if used wisely. It doesn't radically change the rules but adds a twist that fans of the base game will enjoy. It's one of those additions that makes you think twice before discarding a card or placing a bet, knowing that a trophy could change everything at the last second. Perfect for those who want a different touch without overcomplicating things.
