Who can forget those carefree days of youth, filled with shoving your friends down steep embankments in a fleeting pursuit of supremacy? Now you can re-live those moments in "Nature of the Beast" with this brand new variant!

KING OF THE HILL

GOAL:
Keep an animal in the "King Space" longer than your opponents!

SPECIAL RULES:
This game is played on a standard 3x3 field. The center space in the front row is considered the "King Space" (KS).

You may not enter the KS in your field if another player has already filled the KS in their own field. You must trash or otherwise move the opponent's animal out of their KS before you can fill your own.

If you BEGIN your turn with an animal in your KS, you gain one point.

OPTIONAL SPECIAL RULE:
Animals in your back row cannot attempt to trash opponents in their KS. (They're too far down the hill.)

VICTORY OPTIONS:
POINTS: First player to earn (X) points wins the game.
TIMED: Play for (X) rounds. Player with highest score at end wins.

Enjoy!
