Hill King Zine

$22.95 
Available for pre-order

Hill King is a highly experimental tabletop wrestling game using Jenga blocks.

Designed by Malev (the creator of Demonship), it is a procedurally generated, dexterity-based wrestling party game packaged in a compact, 14-page softcover booklet.

The "Ring" Setup: Instead of a traditional grid, board, or ruler system, players use a standard Jenga block set to physically construct a "hill" that serves as the wrestling ring.

Character Creation: Players use a random generator table to roll up absurd wrestlers, combining unique traits like an orcish, alien, or regular human head. You can play using any unarmed wrestling miniatures.

The Activation Pool: At the start of a turn, a player rolls six dice. Results of 4 or higher become their "activation pool" to perform actions. Any results of 1, 2, or 3 are passed over to opponents, giving them extra resources.

Dexterity Elements: Because it utilizes a Jenga tower, players must physically climb the tower with their miniatures, adding a literal element of balance, risk, and structural collapse to the wrestling match.

Objective: Accommodating 2 to 6 players, the game lasts for six quick rounds. The ultimate goal is to be the literal "King of the Hill"—either the last player standing or the wrestler at the highest point of the tower when the game ends.
