Cheapest price I could find for delivery to Australia. Winner of the 2014 Spiel des Jahres. 4.8/5 stars reviews on Amazon US.
Comparison:
- Amazon US: USD34.21 (~AUD42.87)
- ozgameshop: AUD48.98
A detailed review of the board game: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1346271/camel-detailed-revi…
Around $50 and it's worth it at that price too.
Great price, this is $48 not including delivery at Milsims Games.
went straight off and bought this :D Good find OP!
Awesome thanks, not many of the better board games are best with 6 players (or support 6 at all) and can be finished in short sessions.
Very fun boardgame. Easy to learn but hard to win.
1 in 6 chance of winning if you have 6 players.
Explains why it's hard to win. :-)
any fishpond coupons i wonder?
Good find; for once we're not getting screwed over on prices!
19c processing fee if using paypal..
I've been waiting for a decent price on this game to introduce to the gaming group I have. Excellent price and have ordered one!
Great Find! Been getting back into Boardgames with the wife.
Never heard of this, not sure if it sounds interesting, but have been playing board games with friends, so keen to try out new ones, particularly casual fun games with high ratings like this. Here's hoping fishpond's dreadful delivery times don't rear their head again (have waited double the estimated delivery in the past).
It is cheaper from Amazon.de if you are getting a bunch of stuff but this is a good standalone price! I have it and it is a great family game.
How is it cheaper on amazon.de? Wouldn't they also be selling the Pegasus version there rather than the Z-man version?
Well it's 12.5euro from Amazon.de. There is no difference between the Pegasus and zman versions except you get a German manual and an English manual in the Pegasus Spiel version. As I said though it'll only be cheaper if you get a bundle of games as postage will kill a small order.
Thanks got one. But fish pond can be a bit hit and miss. Hopefully not too many ozbargainers dine out on this deal.
Have this already - great game, would recommend.
Nice! Ordered.
Went up to $49.95 as I was going through checkout.
I was just logging in to post the same observation.
Went ok for me, paying by c/c
"Dress Up & Pretend Play" in the Toys section wasn't what I was expecting/hoping for.
Price hiked after I put it into the cart… Missed out by seconds!
Just purchased - had to put it in my basket 2x then cancelled the first on that was the more expensive one. Odd glitch but have a confirmation that it worked!
Just because yoummissed out doesn't mean it is neg worthy.
Just bought one for $29.95 no problems
Still showing $29.95!
Fantastic post, thanks for sharing.
This isn't expired yet.
Good price for a family board game. Here is a good detailed review if you want to know if you'll enjoy the game or not - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxWPSZO_KBQ
the problem with fishpond is, if the deal is good, even if you are able to order one.
They will likely email you few weeks later saying they don't have enough stock to fulfill your order and cancel/refund your order.
so good luck.
I already own this game, bought around $49, it's a great game, waiting the expansion to come out now.
just bought $30.14 inc paypal fees.
they did warn me that may take up to 4-8 weeks from unreliable supplier. price fairly good. dont mind waiting
Thanks, Great find. Was in the market for a new easy board game.
Quirkle also going for a great price and is also a great game.
On behalf of my mate, thanks OP!
Cheers Op.
checked out at $30.14 inc paypal, love boardgames, wish more would appear on ozbargain.
This game is fantastic! I paid around $70 for it when it first came out, and I feel even that price was worth it, considering how much it's played.
It's short enough that you don't have to commit the whole night - usually somewhere around 45 minutes, and even the slower players tend to move relatively quickly.
Even though there are only 5 possible actions per turn, making it very easy to pick up, it is surprisingly difficult to bet on who is going to win, and there has never been one clear winner consistently in my group - even first timers do well sometimes.
Looks like the price has gone back to $49.95…
Yeah $50 here too. Bummer.
Thanks OP, bought - still at $29.95 for me.
Expired
I still got it for $29.95, not expired
Maybe I just got lucky, now when I look at it again it's up at $49.95
LOL, I clicked it again and back to $29.95. Buggy. Anyway, looks like a good deal but pass on this one for me. Got enough clutter in the house from buying a lot of top OzB deals. :P
$49.95
Yeah, $49.95 for me too…
Actually, I refreshed and it came up as $29.95. Pricing seems very intermittent!
Had to hit refresh a few times but the price seemed to randomly change to $29.95. Failed a couple of times through the checkout as the price sometimes changed back. Got it processed eventually.
Yep, can verify this. The second time I went to the link it came up at $29. Weird, but I'll take it.
its still 29.95
Yeah, refreshing seem to work. Bought 1
It doesn't appear to be available anymore :( Sad I missed this one. Great deal!!
I just bought it at $29.95.
I just bought it at $29.95 too
How many other people have tried refreshing the prices on other games? :P
Link doesn't work any more
Doubt anyone is getting their game:
"Thank you for your order of "Camel Up" with Fishpond.com.au.

Yup got the same email
That will be disappointing. I was looking forward to playing this.
I haven't received that email yet though.
In the tracking it says:
Tracking Status:
Your order for Camel Up is on its way to our warehouse.
We will email you with a confirmed delivery date between 26th May and 16th June. We are unable to give you any further information about this order until then.
I ordered at 00:19 on 8th May.
This is the first time I ordered, got same email and yet order confirmation states "Estimated delivery date: 21st May - 4th Jun from supplier".
So how can it be that "Unfortunately your order hasn't arrived in the time we originally expected it to. We will give the item a couple more weeks to arrive in case it is just late." That is, it wasn't due to arrive for a couple of weeks anyway.
Are these guys legit - what's the experience people have had with Phishpond?
i got same. seems they will cancel all orders
i already warned people with this and i received a -1 vote.
I would say it was a fishpond representative, but we know that's not true.
yep same email here, I haven't ordered from fishpond before, dont think I will again.
Same
I have emailed them and they say it is still predicted to come from the 21st of May.
Hopefully they stay to their word.
Seems the delay email may be automated, and given they've already said there will be a delay in getting it, looks like it might actually go through fine. Time will tell I guess.
Maybe i'm one of the lucky ones? Got this email today:
Hooray! Today we sent your item from our UK fulfillment centre.
We anticipate delivery between 20/05/15 and 29/05/15.
This is an automated email. Please do not reply.

Woo hoo what time was your order made?
I put through the order at roughly 1am on the 8th of May
I ordered 9:50am on the 8th (sn).
Haven't got the good news yet…
I ordered on the 7th of May still havent received any good news. Hope they are just slow in processing
I got the same email! Woo!
I got the same email overnight, excellent, just when I thought all hope was lost
Got shipping confirmation overnight. Thanks again OP.
Got shipping confirmation too!
Just received my copy of the game today
Nice! I haven't received anything further since getting my "Unfortunately your order hasn't arrived in the time we originally expected it to." email…
Ditto…
Got mine today too.
Cheering!
Got a cancellation email this morning, not happy, will never shop at Fishpond again.
Same - got cancellation and paypal refund processed this morning.
yeah me too :(
I bought one book from them before and had no issue though.
Mine got cancelled too. I've had so many problems at Fishpond with items being cancelled. I'm sick of it.
Also got cancellation, very unhappy with Fishpond. They definitely live up to their very negative reputation. This is my third cancellation by them so far..
Did you get a shipping notification email before being told it was cancelled? They waited a long time to tell you it was cancelled.. Crappy :(
Ordered on the 7th, got an email that it would be delayed on the 10th, then got the cancellation on the 25th. I don't understand how some people have ordered after me and received the product. Poor effort from Fishpond.
Got my board game today!
Yay mine came today
Got mine today - now to give the game a go.
Mine arrived yesterday.
Ordered May 7th, delay email May 9th, confirmation that it has been send May 13th, expected delivery May 22 - June 2.
Played for the first time last weekend. Not the epic game I was thinking it would be but still enjoyable. Definitely not worth $60 but $30 is about the right price.
Maybe it will be better next time as will be more familiar with the rules.
$49.95 though.
Amazon.com is cheaper, somewhere around $45 through seller Mega_Mega
How much is this normally?
In case jv comes in late
