Sablo

Quick curling on a glossy azure rink, with a coach's voice in your corner. Tip 1 Start with Rookie. Quick Match plays three ends of four stones each, and the computer moves up from Rookie to Club to Pro, so learn loose weight and wide lines before the guards appear. Tip 2 Drag back for weight, let go to throw and pick the turn of the handle with the two arrows. A dotted line shows where your throw is heading. Tip 3 Hold your finger on the rink while the stone runs and the broom goes to work, carrying it further and straighter. The brushing gauge empties fast, so save it for the moment it counts. Tip 4 Points come from matches, sprints and the quiz, so spend them in the kit room. Broom adds seconds of sweeping, Polish makes a swept stone glide further and Scope lengthens the aiming line, each over three levels. Tip 5 Try the 75-second sprint when you want pure accuracy: the button scores 5, the four-foot 3, the eight-foot 2 and the twelve-foot 1, with fresh guards after every throw. Tip 6 Between matches, the true-or-false quiz runs ten statements from 26 about rules and technique, with a short note after each answer. The stats board keeps tier records, buttons and recent games. Everything plays offline without an account, and haptics and the drifting background can be switched off.
