About the game
In Camel Up (Second Edition), get ready for a hilarious and unpredictable race! Up to eight players dive into the world of betting, trying to guess which of the five crazy camels will cross the finish line in first and second place. The trick is, the earlier you place your bet, the bigger your potential winnings – if you guess correctly, of course! But don't think this is an ordinary race: the camels are unpredictable, sometimes landing on top of each other and hitching a ride towards victory. Who will move and when? Ah, that's a mystery only the pyramid dice shaker can reveal, releasing one die at a time and dictating the pace of the race. This 2018 edition comes with a refreshed look, a brand new game board, a more stylish pyramid, engraved dice, and best of all, brand new game modes! Get ready for 'rogue' camels that start the race running in the opposite direction, adding an extra spice of chaos and fun. In Camel Up, the only certainty is that you never know how the race will end!
