How It Works

The game replicates the core mechanics of traditional curling on a miniature scale. Players take turns sliding their stones across the mat toward a target area, known as the “house.” The objective is to position stones closest to the center or to knock opponent stones out of scoring positions. Because the surface is flat and friction‑controlled, players can practice accurate delivery techniques while enjoying a quick round of competition.

Gameplay Instructions

1. Unfold the Mat: Lay the mat on any flat, smooth surface. The mat includes a clearly marked target area with concentric circles.
2. Select Teams: Divide players into two teams—red and blue. Each team receives an equal number of stones (typically four per side).
3. Determine Order: Decide which team will deliver first. In many versions, the team with the most recent win or a simple coin toss can choose.
4. Deliver Stones: Players slide their stones across the mat toward the target area. The goal is to stop as close to the center as possible or to strategically displace opponent stones.
5. Scoring: After all stones have been delivered, count points for each team based on how many of their stones are closer to the center than any opponent stone. Each qualifying stone earns one point.
6. Repeat Rounds: Continue alternating turns until a predetermined score or number of rounds is reached.
