Camel Up is a fast-paced betting game for 3–8 players where you bet on camel races, with the goal of having the most money by the end. Players take one of four actions per turn—betting on a "leg" (round), moving a camel, placing a desert tile, or betting on the overall race winner/loser—with a leg ending when five dice are rolled, triggering payout

The tournament will consist of three rounds. All players will compete in Rounds 1 and 2 to determine standings. The top 6 players will then advance to Round 3, the Championship Round.
