Watch “Camel Up: Off Season | Camels Must Not Collapse! | Board Game Overview & Review (Episode #57),” a board game review on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

Do you wish to be the wealthiest merchant? Is set collection, push your luck, and bidding mechanics of your choice? Or do you simply want to live in the nostalgia of Camel Up? Well, welcome to the Off Season! Let's make sure your camels don't collapse! In this game you'll work to earn the most coins by bidding to be the first player to obtain goods from the market, loading up your camels being careful to avoid surpassing their capacity, and selling goods in various ways. Will you be the wealthiest or will your camels collapse? This game is designed by Stefan Kloß and Anna Oppolzer, illustrated by Chris Quilliams and published by Pretzel Games. A copy of this game was provided to us by Asmodee Canada for review! Thanks for watching our board game overview and review of Camel Up: Off Season! Question of the day: What merchandise would you travel the world with and sell? Our series "Check it Out!" is a weekly series, where we introduce a new game, give you a brief overview of how to play and tell you what we thought along with why you should and shouldn't check it out. Essentially, a board game review! We appreciate you taking the time to watch our videos. Let's get to loading those camels!

About Camel Up: Off Season, from BoardGameGeek:

In Camel Up: Off Season, each of the 3-5 players has their own caravan of four camels that can carry goods, with the camels being able to carry 3, 4, 5, and 6 goods. Goods come in four types - carpets, vases, dates, and (non-date) fruit - and these goods will be available at markets, with one more market in play than the number of players. Each double-sided market indicates how many face-up and face-down cards are placed there, in addition to the special power of that market. At the start of a round, players bid to see who selects goods first from a market, with the bidding rules being set by the back of the topmost goods card in the deck. Whoever wins the bid pays their money to the bank, while everyone else keeps their coins. (Coins are victory points, so you might not want to throw away too many of them!) The winning bidder chooses a market, uses the power of that market (if they wish), then takes all of the goods from that market, flips them face up (if needed), then loads the goods on their camels. A camel can hold goods of only one type, and if a goods type is on a camel, then you must continue placing that good on the same camel. Each camel has a goods limit, however, and if you exceed that limit, then you must throw away all of that type of good. Each other player in clockwise order then chooses an unchosen market, optionally uses its power, and collects and loads its goods. Each player then has the option of selling goods from at most one camel, with each type of goods paying out in different ways: Dates: Cards show 1-4 dates, and the more you sell at once, the more money you receive. Carpets: Cards come in six colors, and you can't sell the same color twice in a batch. Again, the more you sell at once, the better. Vases: Cards come in three types (with some overlap), and you can sell only one shape at a time Fruit: Cards come in four types worth different amounts, and you can sell only the lowest-valued fruit. Place a 1 coin on the unchosen market, flip all the other markets, refill those markets with cards, then start the next round. When the deck runs out, complete one more round - selling once from each of your camels - then whoever has the most money wins.
