Gameplay

The game is played entirely with the stylus from a top-down perspective. Players set a target in the house, choose delivery strength and spin direction, then control the spin during the delivery. After releasing the stone, they sweep by sliding the stylus in front of it and follow instructions from the skip to sweep more, sweep less, or stop.

An included guide explains curling rules, strategy, and equipment. Curling DS was released for Nintendo DS on November 22, 2006.
