Mini Curling
Pull the stone back to load up power, then slide it across the ice and chase the dead center.
About This Game
Pull the stone back to load up power, then slide it across the ice and chase the dead center. The throw is only half the job. Once the stone is gliding, friction steadily bleeds off its speed and a natural drift tugs it off line, so you brush the ice to fight back — rubbing beside the stone steers it left or right, while sweeping ahead of it squeezes out extra distance.
You get exactly three stones per game. Stop one inside the red heart of the target and the round ends on the spot, paying between 500 and 1000 points depending on how tight to the center dot you finish; miss that zone with all three stones and you leave with nothing.
That setup makes every shot a two-stage nerve test — commit to a power read at release, then sweat out micro-corrections over the final stretch. It's a natural fit for players who prefer slow-burn precision and a little physics intuition over pure reflex games.
Game Tips
- 🥌 The stone drifts slightly left or right at random every throw
- 🧹 Sweep the side opposite the curl to pull it back on line
- 🚫 Sweeping can't stop the stone — better slightly soft than sailing past!
