The finalists of the RoboRally tournament which transpired at the Origins Game Fair in 1999 each received a copy of the King of the Hill board. While it is virtually impossible to obtain an original, the fan community has produced an accurate print-and-play version available for download. King of the Hill incorporates various elements from previous expansions published by Wizards of the Coast—most notably being one of only three boards to utilize ramps and ledges—while exclusively featuring the 'steep ramp' element which, unlike normal ramps, requires three movements worth of momentum in order to ascend.
RoboRally: King of the Hill supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for RoboRally: King of the Hill is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists RoboRally: King of the Hill for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
