Replay value

Camel Up (Second Edition) has a high replayability score due to its variability in gameboard, expansions available, strategic depth, scalability, and player interaction. It offers different experiences each time it is played, provides expansions that add new content, allows players to improve their strategy over time, adapts well to different player counts, and is relatively easy to learn.

Luck profile

Camel Up (Second Edition) has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements such as dice rolls and card draws have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. While players have some ability to mitigate the effects of randomness through strategic decisions, luck still plays a significant role. The game has a balanced mix of luck and strategy, making it suitable for players who enjoy a combination of chance and skill.

Overview

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!
