How to play Curling Stone
Curling Stone is a top-down curling game. Each end, you and your rival slide four stones each down a long sheet of ice toward the target rings. Drag back from your stone to set the direction and the power, choose whether it turns clockwise or anticlockwise, and let go. While the stone glides, hold to sweep: sweeping cuts friction so the stone travels farther, takes out part of the curl, and pressing beside the stone nudges it to that side.
After the eighth stone the team with the stone closest to the button scores one point for every stone that is nearer than the best stone of the other side. Stones that touch a side line, slide through the back of the house or stop short of the far hog line leave the ice, and hits can knock rivals out of the rings.
Play the campaign against sixteen rivals that get steadier shot by shot, a quick match against an easy, medium or hard bot over two, four or six ends, or take turns with a friend on one screen. Win ends and matches to earn coins for new stone handle colours. Your progress, stars, coins and settings are saved on your device, and nothing needs a download or an account.

FAQ
How do I throw a stone?
Press on the ice, drag back from your stone and let go. The direction follows the pull and the power follows its length. A ring marker shows where the stone would stop if you did not sweep.
What does sweeping do?
Holding to sweep reduces friction, so the stone goes farther, and it straightens the curl. Press beside the stone, or use Left / Right, to nudge it sideways. The sweep bar drains while you sweep and refills when you stop.
How are points counted?
After all eight stones, only the team with the stone nearest the button scores, one point for each of its stones in the rings that is nearer than the other team's best stone.
