Description
This cheeky curling game swaps the granite stones of the ice rink for six little poo-shaped pieces, and it is every bit as daft and competitive as it sounds. A long roll-out mat carries the course: a grey start box at one end, two lanes in pink and teal down the middle, and a red, white and blue target near the far end, set against cream borders and a band of warm orange. The pieces come in two shades, three dark brown and three a lighter reddish brown, so each side can tell its own at a glance. Everything packs into a slim box with a retro print.
We think it suits any room with a clear stretch of table or floor. Unroll the mat, take a side each and slide your pieces from the start towards the target, aiming to finish nearest the centre. It is quick to set up and quick to clear away, so it works as well for a few rounds after dinner as for a long rainy afternoon in the living room. The toilet humour does most of the talking, and the gentle skill of judging a slide keeps everyone coming back for one more end.
The pieces are made of plastic and metal, as is the target mat, and a black fabric drawstring bag keeps all six together between games. The whole game weighs 205g, so it is light enough to tuck into a drawer or carry to a friend's house. To keep the mat looking bright, wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry fully before rolling it back into its box. Lay the mat on a smooth, flat surface for the truest slides. As a gift, it is a cheeky, good-humoured choice that gets a laugh the moment the box opens, and it is a game people play rather than leave on a shelf.

Frequently Asked
How many curling pieces come with the poo curling game?
There are six poo-shaped pieces, three in dark brown and three in a lighter reddish brown. That gives two sides three pieces each, and a black fabric drawstring bag keeps them together.

How do you play poo curling?
Unroll the mat, take a side each and slide your pieces from the start end towards the target. Just as in curling, the aim is to finish nearest the centre of the target.
Where can I set the game up?
Any clear, flat stretch of table or floor will do. The mat lies flat once unrolled, and a smooth surface gives the truest, most even slides.

Wipe the mat with a damp cloth and let it dry fully before rolling it back into its box. The pieces can be wiped the same way.
How heavy is the game?
