King of the Hill is a multiplayer game of Territory (3-6 players) where each player combats one another to determine a winner. The same rules mentioned earlier in this Rulebook apply with the following exceptions:
Points and Deck size: The first player to 20 points wins. Main Decks need only be 40 cards.
Territory Restrictions: Players may only have one Territory active at a time in their starting Territory zone. Therefore, Champions cannot move, making movement-based Relics, Territories, and Spells less effective.
Relic Restrictions: Players that do not possess the King Card may only play one Relic on Relic Space 1.

Close Quarters: Each Territory is adjacent to each other Territory, allowing players to attack any opponent's Territory or Relic(s) during their Combat Phase.
Beginning of the Game: At the start of the game, players roll a die to determine who goes first. The highest roll becomes the King, and their starting Territory is the ‘Hill.’
The King receives the following card
Place the King Card above or next to your Territory to signify you are the King.
(Continued)
Taking Turns: In King of the Hill, players take turns sequentially, starting with the 'King' and proceeding clockwise.
To the Victor Go the Spoils: In addition to receiving the King Card, the player who is King can play an additional Relic in Relic Space 2 (See King of the Hill Game Layout).
Transition of Power: When the ‘Hill’ takes damage exceeding half its current hit points, the ‘King’ is toppled. The player who inflicted the damage becomes the new ‘King’ , and their Territory becomes the new ‘Hill’ . They immediately receive the ‘King Card’ . If the toppled ‘King’ has two Relics, they must sacrifice the Relic in Relic Space 2. All opponents gain points for the sacrificed Relic.
Sacrifice Benefits All: Whenever a player sacrifices a Relic or Champion, all their opponents gain points from the sacrificed card.
Endgame: If two or more players reach 20 or more points simultaneously, the player with the highest points wins. If tied, the game ends in a draw.
Example of possible battleground layout for four players with 2 full mats. The King of the Hill Mats are designed for this format specifically.

What is Open Play? Open Play is a faster version of a game of one verse one where players start the game with all their Territories at their maximum Food Supply. The same rules in the ‘Territory Rulebook’ apply to this format with the following exceptions:
Starting the Game: The player playing first puts their chosen Territories into play; whereas, the player playing second does no put their Territories into play until their Beginning Phase (this means the player playing first cannot attack or gain points during their first turn).
Fast Paced: Each player gains 3 Spell Power and draws 2 cards during their Beginning Phase. The player playing first does not gain Spell Power or draw cards on their first turn.
