Camel Up (Second Edition)

Try to play to the odds, but don't worry about it too much and take part in some degenerate gambling. Always a blast and sure to get myself and others gleefully shouting at their own and others mis/fortune.

Always a raucous time with this one. My kids, 6 and 8 love it! They don't get too sore when they lose, and it plays in around 30 min at 3 ppl. The production is off the charts - I'm just impressed how my 6 year old is engrossed throughout, although she sometimes needs to be reminded that there are other (more optimal) actions than rolling a die. It's really a very clever, and I would even say, elegant game - just the right amount of rules for such a random affair. Don't be fooled, though, there are quite a few good tactics that can be used. Anyway, it's a great game to end the day with.

Hilariously fun betting game where the race can completely change at ANY time! Perfect for kids and folk who don't play board games often, everyone at the table gets REALLY into the action!

A perfect game in that it set outs to do something simple and accomplishes it. There's a lot of luck and gambling, but some understanding of the rules and statistics can still give you an edge. Fantastic, light-complexity game for all levels.

I truly think this is a masterpiece of a game. My first game was a bit underwhelming and I've seen that's a common experience for many players, but then it grew on me. It's not a race game, it's about gambling and betting and if players really lean into it, the game creates stand-up moments of fun and laughter. We use partnership cards at all player counts, and we allow to play them even before anyone has taken a betting ticket (sometimes it's your best option and we haven't found a rule that would prevent it :))
