Camel Up
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!
What is Camel Up
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.

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!
Players roll all 5 dice to setup the start positions of the camels. On each leg, players pick one betting card for each color camel, showing how many coins they will win/lose, depending on the camel's position after the leg. The dice are then rolled in the pyramid dice roller, which allows one die to come out at a time and moves the matching color camel. Players can also place oasis cards to earn extra coins. After all 5 camels are moved, bets are resolved and a new leg start. Play continues until a camel passes the finish line.
Once a camel crossess the finish line, all end of race bets are resolved and the player with the most coins wins.

Number of cards: 60 45 x 68mm
Taken as what it really is, a really good game. Don't look for great strategy, this is a betting game with a lot of luck involved, but it is just really fun. A chaotic camel race in which you may get or lose money after every round, and in the end of the race. The situation may change incredibly from one round to another, and this is just great. Very good components, including the pyramid to get dice from, which is quite cool device.

Juego de apuestas caótico, de carreras de camellos. En casa turno, el jugador puede coger una loseta de apuesta, sacar un dado (que hará avanzar a un camello y los que tengan encima), colocar una loseta de oasis/espejismo, o apostar por el final de la carrera. Está curioso, porque el orden en que avanzan los camellos (que pueden ir apilados) es muy caótico. Es simpático el juego y apto para todo tipo de públicos. Se juega rápido. Además, tiene una pirámide de donde se sacan los dados de avance de camellos que es de lo más llamativa.
El party perfecto risas todo el rato y giros de guion brutales. Cuántos más jugadores mejor
Super Cup Expansion included.
