Go Fish

Object of Game

The goal of Go Fish is to collect "books", which are sets of four cards of the same rank (ex: All Jacks or all 8s) by asking other players for cards you think they may have.

Below is an example of a book:

The winner is the player with the most books at the end of the game.

Gameplay

The game uses the standard 52 card deck and each player receives 5 cards at the start of the game.

A turn consists of choosing one of your cards and asking another player if they have a card of the same rank.

If that player has any card of the same rank, they will be transferred to your hand. You then get another turn and can ask any player for another card you already have.

If the person you ask does not have any of the card you asked for, you're asked to "Go Fish!".

You'll then automatically draw the top card from the stack of cards in the middle.

If you draw the card you asked for, you get another turn. If you draw a different card, you keep it and the turn passes to the next player.

When you collect a book, the 4 cards will be removed from your hand.

Endgame

The game continues until either someone has no cards left in their hand or the deck runs out. The winner is the player who has the most books.
