Go Fish

What is Go Fish?

Go Fish is a timeless and adored card game best for players of all ages. It has simple rules and is partly memory and partly luck, making it perfect for those quick casual meet-ups with friends and family. The goal of the game is very simple: match sets of four cards in the same rank to shed their cards faster. The one with the most sets at the end of the game, and hence more entertaining, is the winner.

How to Play

Go Fish is simple and intuitive to play. It goes as follows:

1. Dealing: Players are dealt handies- normally 7 for each player standing against other players in the normal game.
2. Making Sets: You want to get 4 cards of the same rank, like 4 7s.
3. Asking for Cards: When it is your turn, you ask a certain player for a particular rank of card (e.g.: Do you have any 5s?).
4. Receiving Cards: If the person you asked actually has those cards, they have to hand them to you; otherwise, they say, "Go Fish," and you draw a card from the stockpile.
5. Asking for Cards or Ending Your Turn: After you get the cards, you can ask for more or end your turn. The game continues this way till all the sets are formed or no pairs can be made.
6. Winning: Whoever has the most sets at the game end is the champion!

Tips and Tricks:

• Remember: Try to remember which cards were asked for and who has already been told to "Go Fish." This will help give you insight on your next request.
• Bluff: It can sometimes pay off to ask for a rank that you actually have a few of yourself, just to see if anyone else might be holding the rest of that set.
• Do not Shy away from Going Fishing: If you are not making any matches, then don't hesitate to draw from the deck; maybe luck will favor you.
• Observe your opponents: Another tip is to stay awake and notice which cards have been played and which players might be becoming low on cards-this information can lead to clues on what they may still have.
