Camel Up is a board game for two to eight players. It was designed by Steffen Bogen and illustrated by Dennis Lohausen, and published in 2014 by Pegasus Spiele. Players place bets on a camel race in the desert; the player who wins the most money is the winner of the game. Camel Up won the Spiel des Jahres in 2014.

In 2015, an expansion called Camel Up: Supercup was released, allowing the game to be played with up to 10 players.[2] A mobile app was also released in 2015 for Android and iOS devices.[3]

At Essen 2018, a German board game convention, Eggertspiele released a second edition[4] of the game with new artwork by Dennis Lohausen and Chris Quilliams, and revised game rules.[5]

In 2021, a spinoff called Camel Up: Off Season was released.[6]
