King of the Hill Rule Book
The
following are the official rules for the King of the Hill game. This
game is a hybrid of basic table hockey and provides fast paced and
exciting fun. Inspired by the Royal Rumble, King of the Hill pits
players in a sudden death situation where they must run the gauntlet and
eliminate as many players as possible. The last player standing will be
crowned the King/Queen of the Hill.
The King of the Hill Rule Book was last updated on May 23rd, 2016.
