Curling
Aim, judge the weight, and slide your stone to the button.
How to play Curling
You and the computer each throw four stones per end, taking turns. Aim your line by dragging (or with the left and right arrows), then hold to build power on the meter and release to send the stone sliding down the ice — too little weight stops short, too much sails out the back. Stones collide, so you can draw gently into the house or throw hard to knock a rival stone out. After all eight stones, whoever has a stone closest to the button scores one point for every stone of theirs that beats the opponent's nearest. Play three ends; the higher total wins.

Curling — frequently asked questions
How does scoring work in Curling?
Only one team scores per end — the one with the stone closest to the button. That team earns a point for each of its stones that is closer to the button than the opponent’s nearest stone. After three ends, the higher total wins the match.
How do I control the weight of a throw?
Hold down to fill the power meter and release to throw. A light throw leaves a guard short of the rings, a medium throw draws into the house, and a heavy throw is a take-out that can knock other stones away.
Can I knock the computer’s stones out?
Yes. Stones collide with a near-elastic bounce, so a well-aimed hard throw can drive an opponent’s stone out of the house — or push your own stone closer to the button.
