Description
In Camel Up, players don't race camels themselves; instead, they bet on which camels they think will win each leg of the race and the overall race. Five uniquely colored dice correspond to the five camels racing around the pyramid track.
On your turn, you can roll a die, move a camel, place a betting tile on the current leg, place a landscape tile to help or hinder camels, or place an overall winner/loser bet. Camels don't move independently; when a die is rolled, that color camel moves, and any camels stacked on top of it move along for the ride! The player who accumulates the most money by correctly predicting the race's outcome wins.
