Is curling a game?If so how does one play it?

Yes.

Curling is a precision team sport similar to bowls or bocce, played on a rectangular sheet of prepared ice by two teams of four players each, using heavy polished granite stones which they slide down the ice towards a target area called the house. Points r scored for the number of stones that a team has closer to the center of the target than the closest of the other team is stones. The level of precision & complex nature of the strategic thinking required to win has led curling to be referred to as ''chess on ice.''

How to play~~

A competitive game usually consists of ten ends. Recreational games r more commonly only eight or even six ends. An end consists of each player from both teams throwing two rocks with the players on each side alternating shots, for a total of sixteen rocks. If the teams r tied at the completion of ten ends an extra end is played to break the tie. If the match is still tied after the extra end, play continues for as many ends as may be required to break the tie. The winner is the team with the highest score after all ends have been completed (see Scoring below).

It is not uncommon at any level for a losing team to terminate the match before all ends r completed if it believes it no longer has a realistic chance of winning. Most competitive tournaments require eight ends to be completed before allowing a losing team to concede in this manner. Competitive games will usually end once the losing team is ''run out of rocks'' - that is, once it has fewer stones in play and/or available for play than the number of points needed to tie the game in the final end.

In international competition each side is given 73 minutes to complete all of their throws. Each team is also allowed two 60 second timeouts per ten end game. If extra ends r required each team is allowed 10 minutes of playing time to complete their throws & one added 60 second timeout for each extra end.

You shove a rock down the ice and two people with brooms try to alter its course so it goes where they want.
