Camel Up (New Edition)

If I could give a 4.33... (repeating of course) stars I would, but because this game wasn't truly a "5", it gets a 4 here.

I guess I will start with the negatives. I think at first the rules are a bit messy, I wish they had reference cards for all the players on what you can do on your turn to avoid any confusions. Also the layout of the final winner and final loser was a bit weird as there's no clear text.

Now to the good. The game was a blast, and once you start using your tokens and abilities you can see that they have a real effect. You're also competing against your buddies to see who can hoard the most money. The board is beautiful, the pyramid adds an element of suspense. I really really enjoyed this game!

Now to the small gripe. The game is a win, or win more type of game. What I mean by this is that every round, you don't really lose money, you can either gain money, or gain more money. On the other hand, because you are competing with your buddies on who has the most money, you don't truly know who has the most until the camel crosses the finish line and tally up your earnings!

I love It

Camel Up (New Edition)

Love this game. Great for kids to teach them statistics/probability (it's not gambling it's math and scenarios exercises). The kids love the dice rolling pyramid (which can be a bit clunky), and it's nice there's some more advance strategy thinking for adults when we play together. It's a bit confusing to explain the camel movement to first time players but by the first role round they've got it.
