Just as nice without the ice! This all-weather winner lets you enjoy curling fun all year round – keep your cool as you slide your stones with precision to the centre circle and rack up those precious points. The closest stones to the target, or “house”, win, so be careful not to push too hard or you’ll slide right past! Strategically slide your shots, block your opponent’s moves, and aim for the centre to claim victory. In ice-free curling, it’s all about using your brain and your aim – so get ready for a game of fun, strategy, and friendly competition!
Aim of the game? Slide the curling stones and aim for the centre of the target. The player with the most stones in the most central position wins! But figuring out the correct amount of force to slide the stones with is key to being a pro. Up for the challenges? Course you are!
Determine team members and their order before starting the game.
All teams stand at the opposite end of the target.
Like traditional curling, teams take turns throwing stones toward the target, aiming for the bullseye called the “button.”
Players can use a pushing motion to slide their stones across the surface. The goal is to get your stone as close to the centre of the target as possible while also strategically placing your stones to block your opponent’s shots.
At first the main challenge will be determining just how hard or gentle to push the stones to hit the target – too soft and they won’t slide far enough and too hard they will slide straight off the end!
After all stones have been thrown, determine which stone is closest to the centre (the ‘button’).
The team with the closest stone scores points for each stone closer to the centre than their opponent’s closest stone.
Play multiple rounds called “ends” and tally up points to determine the winner.
The game typically consists of ten rounds (ends).
The team with the most points after ten rounds wins!
Don’t forget to finish the game with a group photo under the target camera… say FREEZE!
This year-round Olympic challenger is just a stone’s throw away in most cities – no need to wait for winter to roll around to master this cool classic.
