A betting game on a camel race in the Egyptian desert. Shake the pyramid and the colored dice come out one at a time. Each moves its camel. A camel that lands on an occupied space climbs on top of the stack. The camel on top counts as ahead. So the standings churn constantly. Players bet with leg tickets on each stage, back the overall winner and loser, and place oasis and mirage tiles to shift the race. The moment a camel crosses the finish line, the race ends and the richest player wins. It won the Spiel des Jahres in 2014.
