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

Quotes (from this video)
- I'm back, I'm back, baby.
- So Croconol is a classic game uh you know 150 years old at this point and exactly 150 years old and it is uh it's a dexterity flicking game and it's not like a crazy like modern board game style dexterity flicking game.
- It looks beautiful. It's our wall art in our basement. I got my board.
- I love the theme of the game. Anytime you get a World War II where you're going to try to kill Nazis, uh, as much as I'm a pacifist, killing Nazis makes me happy.
- So, Castle Litter if you're want to jump into the style of State of Siege game, this is a great one to start with because it is probably the most simple of the line of those games.
- I was like, 'Oh, wow. This is I've never played anything like this before.'
- And uh, yeah, it's so good. It's so good.
