King of the Hill Game Rules

Goal

Be the first Player to reach 15 Victory Points (VP) through Settlements, Cities, Development Cards, and special Achievements.

Number of Players

King of the Hill matches are played with 2 Players.

Turn Timer

The timer is set to Very Fast, meaning you'll have 1 minute to select your starting settlements, and 30 seconds for your turns.

The Discard Limit is set to 9. If you have 10 cards or more, you're at risk of losing half of your resources to the 7 roll!

Friendly Robber

Friendly Robber - A player cannot be blocked unless their visible point score is above the initial 2 points. This means building a Settlement, City, taking the Largest Army or Longest Road will all disable Friendly Robber for the relevant player. Note that Largest Army and Longest Road are temporary points and losing them can re-activate Friendly Robber.

Balanced Dice

We used a Balanced Dice algorithm to make the games fairer, more dynamic and account for the lack of trading and collaboration in a 2 player gamemode.
