Product Description

Camel Up: Off Season takes the wild world of Camel Up in a fresh direction, turning the spotlight from racing to trading. Players become merchants travelling between markets, collecting goods, loading them onto their camels, and selling at the right moment for the best return.

It is a lively strategy game with simple rules, fun table presence, and a satisfying mix of planning, timing, and a little luck. Go too greedy, overload a camel, and poof — your profits can vanish faster than a camel with a side hustle.
