	[[King of the Hill]] goals pitch several players (or game-controlled agents) against each other by giving all of them the same goal which only one at a time can start satisfying. Typically the goal is completed by controlling an area for a certain amount of time by denying that area to others.

	[[King of the Hill]] goals are defined by several agents or players all having the same goal but only one can start ~~satisfy~~ their goal at any time and others can "take over" so they instead satisfy their goal. Actually completing the goal typically requires one agent or player to do so for a certain amount of time or turns, which means that these goals typically are modulated by [[Time Limits]]; using [[Scores]] that increase while one is satisfying the goal is a variant of [[Time Limits]] which allows the goal to be completed in several different parts.

	While [[King of the Hill]] goals are typically envisioned as many players competing against each other, it can also be created by having [[Non-Player Characters]] that are [[Enemies]] through having the same [[King of the Hill]] goal as a single player. [[:Category:Tower Defense Games\|Tower Defense Games]] such as [[Plants vs. Zombies]] can be interpreted as having a special kind of [[King of the Hill]] goal where gameplay continues until the player loses control of the "hill".
