The Referee Camel (Camel Up)
The organizers of the race feel annoyed by the strange habit of the Camels to form stacks and carry each other along. To prevent this from now on, they introduce the Referee Camel.
The game is played as usual. At the beginning of each Leg, the player to the right of the player owning the Leg Starting Player marker places the Referee Camel onto any free space of the Race track.
When a Camel unit ends its movement on the space of the Referee Camel, all Camels of that unit are asked to "unstack" and to line up next to each other on that space. The Camels are "unstacked" from top to bottom and are lined up in the same order from left to right. (Therefore, the Camel on top is placed on the very left at the edge of the board and continues to be the leading camel of the former unit.)
Once all Camels of the unit have been "unstacked" (or a single Camel has landed on the space), the Referee Camel is removed from the Race track and placed next to the Game board. It enters the game again at the beginning of the next Leg (see above).
If a Camel unit ends its movement on a space with any "unstacked" Camels, it is placed on top of the Camel standing farthest to the left.
This small expansion can be added to the Camel Up base game as well as the expansion Supercup.
Caravan Leader Mini Expansion (Istanbul)
For this expansion, a new meeple is added to the game: a black camel. During the game, the owner of this camel is known as the Caravan Leader.
At the beginning of the game the black camel is placed on the Caravansery (6); it does not have an owner at this point.
If you execute the action in the Caravansery, take the black camel at the end of your turn and put it in front of you; you are now the Caravan Leader. You remain the Caravan Leader until another player executes the action in the Caravansery.
If you are already the Caravan Leader before you execute the action in the Caravansery, you receive the bonus of the Caravan Leader: "After taking 2 bonus cards, you don't discard any cards from your hand."
