King of the hill (game)

King of the Hill is a game, the object of which is to stay on top of a large hill or pile (or any other designated area) as the "King of the Hill". Other players attempt to knock the current King off of the pile and take their place, thus becoming the new King of the Hill. Initially an outdoors children's game, this is now available as a mode of gameplay in many video games. In this mode, a player or team of players must keep control of a specific area or object for a predetermined amount of time. When that amount of time is reached, the round either ends or a new area is designated on the map.

You can do whatever it takes e.g. punching and kicking.

This game is also called "King of the Mountain", and "King of the Castle". The latter title has an acompanying sing-song rhyme (for taunting the other players) that goes, "I'm the King of the Castle, and you're the dirty rascal". There is a miniclip game also called King of the Hill, and has the same principal

King of the Mountain™ is also a patented fundraising game of chance produced by Douglas Press, Inc. The game consists of a registered package of pull-tab or breakopen tickets and a seal card. Players purchase the pull-tab tickets which may be instant winners, losers or holders. Players who receive a hold ticket sign their name on the corresponding sign-up line on the seal card. Once the game is completely sold out, the game operator will open the four bottom seal windows which will reveal the "13" number matching those on the winner's "hold" tickets. The three seals are then removed from the third row of seal windows revealing three of the previous winners' numbers, effectively eliminating one player. The two seals in the second row of seal windows are then removed, revealing two of the remaining winners' numbers, effectively eliminating one player. Finally the seal is removed from the single top seal window to reveal the number of the King of the Mountain© grand prize winner.

King of the Mountain™ is commonly played in bingo halls in states across the United States including Ohio, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Virginia and Illinois.
