Tabletop Curling Instructions

1. Divide into two teams and flip a coin. The winner decides if they want to go first. (keep in mind that in curling, there is a disadvantage to going first). Assign each team a set of "stones".

2. Each teammate sits across the board from each other.

3. Whoever goes first slides their first "stone" down the "ice". The goal is to get your "stone" as close to the center of the circle as possible. The center of the circle is called the "button".

4. The other team then slides their first "stone" towards the same "button". Game play rotates between the two players at the same end of the table until each player has slid their eight "stones".

5. After all sixteen "stones" are "thrown", whichever color stone is closest to the "button" scores one point for every stone closer to the button than the opposing teams' stones. Only stones within the circles can score points.

6. Play now shifts to the players on the other side of the table and continues the same as above.

7. Whichever team has the most points after 8 rounds wins!

Rules

• A player's hand cannot cross the "hog line" while they are sliding the stone.
• A stone must cross the hog line on the other end of the ice and remain on the "ice" to be "in play".
• A stone sitting on the edge of the hog line or the borders of the ice surface, even just a bit, is considered out of bounds, and is removed from the game.
• A stone can be knocked out of bounds by the other team's stone, or by your own team's stone.
