Camel Up

1. 1
   Lay. Stack betting tickets by color, set out pyramid tickets, and give 3 coins. Money and ticket stacks sit ready beside the board.
2. 2
   Post. Place the five racing camels and post both crazy camels backwards. All dice enter the pyramid and the youngest player starts.

1. 1
   Ticket. Take the top betting ticket of any color, backing that camel to lead the leg. Earlier tickets on the same camel pay more at leg end.
2. 2
   Pyramid. Take a pyramid ticket, shake the pyramid, release one die, and move the matching camel with its stack. The ticket pays 1 coin at leg end.
3. 3
   Tile. Place or move your spectator tile, cheering or booing side up. Landing camels move one space and pay you 1 coin each.
4. 4
   Overall. Secretly stack one finish card on the overall winner or loser pile. The card stays there until final scoring.
5. 5
   Partner. With six or more players, swap partnership cards with another available player instead of a normal action. At leg end you may each also score one of the other partner's tickets.

Worked opening: Ama takes a blue betting ticket off the top of its stack. Ben takes a pyramid ticket, shakes the pyramid, and a blue 3 pops out. Blue moves three spaces with the white camel riding on top, and Ben keeps the ticket. When the fifth die leaves the pyramid, the leg ends: blue leads, so Ama collects the printed 5 coins for the early ticket. Leave spectator tiles and overall winner and loser cards in the box for the first leg; add them from the second leg once betting and rolling feel easy.

1. 1
   Bet. Take the top betting ticket of any color for the current leg. Earlier tickets on the same camel pay more at leg end.
2. 2
   Roll. Take a pyramid ticket, shake the pyramid, and move the rolled camel. The whole stack moves and you keep the ticket worth 1 coin.
3. 3
   Close. End the leg when five dice have left the pyramid. Leading tickets pay out and all dice return to the pyramid.

1. 1
   Stack. A camel landing on an occupied space climbs on top instead of pushing anyone aside. Stacks move as one unit, so a lower camel carries everything above it.
2. 2
   Leg. End each leg when five dice have left the pyramid. Leader tickets pay 5 to 2 coins, second place pays 1, and others cost 1.
3. 3
   Crazy. A grey die moves the white or black crazy camel backwards around the track, carrying any stack it holds. Crazy camels never lead legs and drag any stack with them.
4. 4
   Tile. Place your tile cheering or booing up away from space 1 and other tiles. Landing camels move one space and pay you 1 coin each.
5. 5
   Overall. Once per card, on any turn, secretly stack one finish card on the overall winner or overall loser pile. Correct cards pay 8, 5, 3, 2, then 1 coin and wrong cards cost 1.
6. 6
   Finish. Stop the race when any camel or stack crosses the finish line. Settle the last leg, then overall piles, and the richest player wins.

1. 1
   Leg. Pay leg tickets when the fifth die leaves the pyramid. Leader tickets pay printed coins, second place pays 1, and others cost 1.
2. 2
   Overall. Reveal winner and loser piles in placement order at game end. Correct cards pay 8, 5, 3, 2, then 1 coin in order, and wrong cards cost 1.
3. 3
   Finish. After the final leg payout and the overall payouts, count all coins. The richest player wins; tied players share the win.

• Leg payout: the leg ends with green leading and blue second. Your green tickets pay their printed 5 and 2 coins, your blue ticket pays 1 coin, and each ticket on any other camel costs you 1 coin.
• Overall payout: green wins the race. The first-placed correct winner card scores 8 coins, the next correct ones 5, 3, 2, then 1, while every wrong winner card loses its owner 1 coin.

• Crazy camels never lead a leg, so bet only on the five racing camels.
• A spectator tile can never go on space 1, on an occupied space, or directly beside another tile.
• Each finish card is single use and each wrong overall bet costs 1 coin.
• With six or more players, partnership is a fifth action that replaces your turn; it is never a free extra.
