Camel Up

Modern Hobby Strategy Games

Camel Up is a board game for two to eight players, designed by Steffen Bogen, illustrated by Dennis Lohausen and published in 2014 by Pegasus Spiele. Players place bets on a camel race in the desert, and the player who wins the most money is the winner. It won the Spiel des Jahres in 2014. An expansion called Camel Up: Supercup was released in 2015 and allows play with up to ten players, and a mobile app for Android and iOS followed the same year. At Essen 2018 Eggertspiele released a second edition with new artwork by Dennis Lohausen and Chris Quilliams and revised rules, and in 2021 a spinoff called Camel Up: Off Season was released.
