Camel Up 2nd Edition Reviews

4.7 Rating 21 Reviews
Read Zatu Games Reviews

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+

This is really manic but great fun. Lots of laughs and drama. Our 2 teenagers love it. Ok so it is random but that just means anyone can win, so if you play it for example over a couple of days you are definitely going to win once at least! You cannot dislike this game.

Absolutely love this game. First played at friends house and was hooked from the first go. You are certain a Camel has it in the bag then another comes from nowhere riding on the back of another. I had to have it and Mrs bought it for me and we play it well into the night. Never get tired of it

From the moment you open the board and a palm tree pops out it sets the scene for some great fun with a dash of thinking. We played with 8 and keeps every engaged and laughing. An essential part game that crosses all ages and levels of inebriation.

Lots of fun and a great gateway game for families or large groups. Love the pyramid dice shaker and camel meeples. This looks like a roll and move game but is a betting game and guessing which camel will win first is harder than it looks.

Amazing looking game, a big hit with myself and two of the four friends that tried it. One friend saw its potential as a drinking game but I got the idea that he didn't like it while still sober :) There is a lot of chaos in this game but I think there is still a -limited- way to influence the game. I really enjoy playing it, but maybe a maximum of 3 games in a row and then something else.
