This low-impact game of patience, precision and broomsticks has gained popularity in recent years with now a world-wide audience of over 1.5 million registered players.
The amount of strategy and teamwork that goes into choosing the ideal path and placement of each stone, and the skill of the curler to decide how to achieve this has lead to curling being given the nickname of “chess on ice”.
