Board Game Pairings: Once Upon a Camel

Board Game Pairings: Once Upon a Camel

Are you looking to expand your immersive learning experience with your Once Upon a Camel Bookish Adventure? Add some of these on-theme board games and puzzles to your homeschool!

Camel Up


In Camel Up, up to eight players bet on five racing camels, trying to sus out which ones will place first and second in a quick race around a pyramid. Camels don't run neatly, however, sometimes landing on top of another one and being carried toward the finish line. Who's going to run when? That all depends on how the dice come out of the pyramid dice shaker. No reading required.


Camel Up the Card Game


While keeping the same excitement as the board game, the card game experience gives players a little bit more insight and control on the race. Don't forget about the crazy camel. One of them has been added and adapted exclusively in this new edition to make the unpredictable even more unpredictable.
