How to play Go Fish
Collect the most books — sets of all four cards of the same rank. Play against 1 to 3 computer players (choose in the toolbar).
How to play
- Each player gets 7 cards (5 with 3–4 players); the rest form the pond.
- On your turn, tap a card in your hand to ask for that rank (with several opponents, then choose who to ask). You can only ask for ranks you already hold.
- If they have any cards of that rank they must hand them all over and you ask again.
- If not, they say “Go fish!” and you draw from the pond. If you fish the very rank you asked for, you go again; otherwise the turn passes to the left.
- Whenever you hold all four of a rank, the book is laid down automatically.
- If your hand runs empty you draw a card from the pond. The game ends when all 13 books are made.
Tips
Listen to what the others ask for — the computer players do! A player who asks for a rank must be holding it.
