Go Fish Rules.

Go Fish is a simple game. There are many varations of it. 

We use these rules in our Technology Go Fish

Goal

To collect as many “books” as possible. 

A book exists of four cards of the same rank. 

The player with the most books,

 at the end of the game,

 wins.

Dealing and setup

The game can be played by 3 – 4 players. 

First cards are dealt to the players.

If there are 3 players each gets 6 cards 

and if there are 4 players each gets 5 cards. 

Once the dealing is done the rest of the deck is put

 in a random pile on the table. 

  

Asking and fishing

The initial player is the youngest in each group. The player asks one of the other players for a particular rank. For example, you might ask Bill if he has any “saws”. You may only ask for ranks that you already have at least one card of. E.g. if you don’t have any “saws” yourself you can’t ask for them. If Bill has any “saws” he must give one to you and you get another turn and can ask again. If Bill doesn’t have any “saws” he will tell you to “Go Fish” which means that you will draw one card from the pile on the table. You are finished with your turn and the player next to you plays. Go clockwise. 

Scoring

If you have 4 of the same rank then you show the cards 

to the other players and place the four cards on the table

 in front of you. This is called a book. 

The player with the most books, 

at the end of the game, wins. 

Finish all the cards

It can happen that you finish all the cards in your hand, either because someone else asked you for the last cards you had or you just had a book made up of your last four cards. If you have no cards you can draw new cards from the pile on the table, the same number of cards as you got at the start of the game. If there a three or four players it can happen that one of them finishes their cards and there are no cards left in the pile for him to draw. In that case he is out of the game and will simply have to wait while the remaining players finish the game.
