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.

Yes. Install the Plato app on iOS, Android, or macOS to play the full catalog with friends or matchmade opponents. You can also play Ocho online in your web browser — no install needed.
Can I play with friends?
Yep. Tap Create Private Game, then share the invite link or invite from your contacts. When they tap Accept, they're seated at your table.
Is it free?
Yes — free to play and ad-free. If you buy something, it's for looks (themes, profile flair), not power.
Is it fair?
Shuffles, deals, dice, and timers run on Plato servers, not your device. Everyone plays by the same rules and no one can peek at hidden information.
Is it safe?
You can block and report from profiles or chat. Public spaces use filters and human review. Some rooms use Chat Pass to deter spam, and privacy controls let you limit who sees you online.
Live vs. turn-based: what’s the difference?
Both are turn-taking; the difference is the clock. Live uses short timers for quick back-and-forth. Turn-based gives you longer — often up to 24 hours per move in games like Chess — so you can play at your pace.
