How to Play Go Fish

Description

Ask for the cards you need, collect what you're given, and build complete sets of four. A game that rewards remembering what's been asked more than it looks like it should.

Objective

Collect the most books — sets of four matching cards — by the end of the game.

Setup

Deal five cards to each player with up to four players, or four cards each with more.

The rest form the draw pile.

Rules

On your turn, ask any opponent for a specific rank — you must already hold at least one card of that rank yourself.

If they have any, they hand over every card of that rank. If not, they say "go fish" and you draw one card from the pile.

Completing a set of four of the same rank earns you a book, laid face up in front of you.

Winning

When every card has been sorted into books, the player with the most books wins.
