How it plays

Camel Up is a betting game about a crazy camel race. Camels move when dice are pulled from a pyramid, and when a camel lands on another, it climbs on top and gets carried along.

On your turn you bet on which camel will lead the leg, take a die to move a camel, or place a spectator tile. Bets pay out at the end of each leg and of the race. It's chaotic, loud and great for families and groups.
