Go Fish or Fish is a card game usually played by two to five players,^[2] although it can be played with up to 10 players. It can be played in about 5 to 15 minutes.

The game[edit]

Online Two Player Go Fish

Five cards are dealt from a standard 52-card deck (54 Counting Jokers) to each player, or seven cards if there are three or fewer players.^[3] The remaining cards are shared between the players, usually spread out in a disorderly pile referred to as the 'ocean' or 'pool'.^[3]

The player whose turn it is to play asks another player for their cards of a particular face value. For example, Alice may ask, 'Bob, do you have any threes?' Alice must have at least one card of the rank she requested.^[4] Bob must hand over all cards of that rank if possible. If he has none, Bob tells Alice to 'go fish' (or just simply 'fish'), and Alice draws a card from the pool and places it in her own hand. Then it is the next player's turn – unless the card Alice drew is the card she asked for, in which case she shows it to the other players, and she gets another turn. When any player at any time has four cards of one face value, it forms a book, and the cards must be placed face up in front of that player.^[5][6]Play proceeds to the left.^[7] When all sets of cards have been laid down in books, the game ends. The player with the most books wins.^[3]

Variations[edit]

There are a number of variations of these basic rules:

• A player gives only one card when asked.
• A player forms and lays down pairs instead of 4-card books.
• A player whose call is unsuccessful and draws the card being asked for does not get another turn.
• A player asks for a specific card instead of a rank. A player must still have at least one card of the named rank in order to ask, and must expose that card when asking. This is similar to Happy Families.
• If the other players got all their matches and one player has a card left while no more go-fish cards to draw, the player with the remaining card loses the game.
• Books are saved by each player, face down. When the main play is finished, a further stage of play starts, with the player who has most books. That player may ask another player for a rank that they remember that player has; if correct they win the pair; if incorrect, play passes to the other player. The winner is the player who has eventually collected a pair of every rank.
• Jokers can be used to create a pair by asking another player if they have any jokers in their hand. Two jokers form one pair.
• Instead of going round in a circle the turn switches to the person saying go fish.

Strategy[edit]

If, when fishing, a player draws a rank they did not have, they should ask for it on their next turn. Otherwise, they should rotate among the ranks that they already hold. In the more difficult variants, strategy often requires memorizing which cards each player possesses. Unlike many card games, Go Fish depends on the honor system; lying about the contents of one's hand is difficult to prevent.

It is often beneficial for the player to conceal the cards they hold in order to prevent other players from knowing which cards they can ask for. This can be accomplished by consistently asking different players for the same rank of card.

Special card decks[edit]

Instead of using a standard 52 playing card deck, various specialty decks have been manufactured including the 169 count playing card Kids Classic Go Fish Card Game by U.S. Games Systems. Other specialist card packs which can be used to play similar games have also been produced including the Safari Pals packs which use animal characteristics to form the sets and packs which use personalized names to form the sets.

There is a similar game called Quartets.

Go Fish Rules

Go Fish is a simple game that is popular with children (my 6 year old son for example). There are many variations of it, the rules here describe how it works on this website. It may not be exactly the way you are used to playing.

Objective

To collect as many 'books' as possible. A book is 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 2 - 4 players. First cards are dealt to the players, if there are 2 players then each gets 7 cards, if there are 3 players then each gets 6 cards and if there are 4 players then 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 selected at random. The player can then ask one of the other players for a particular rank. For example, you might ask a player if they have any sixes. You may only ask for ranks that you already have at least one card of. E.g. if you don't have any sixes yourself you can't ask for them. If the player you ask has any sixes, then they must give them to you, and you get another turn and can ask again. If the player doesn't have any sixes then they will tell you to 'Go Fish' which means that you will draw one card from the pile on the table. If you get a six, then you show it to the other players and get to play again. If you get anything else you are finished with your turn and the player next to you plays.

Scoring

If you have 4 of the same rank then you show the cards to the other players, and then place the four cards in a pile next to you. This is called a book. The player with the most books at the end of the game wins.

Drawing new cards

It can happen that you finish all the cards in your hand, either because someone else asked you for the last cards that you had, or you just got a book made up of your last four cards. If you have no cards then 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 are three or four players then 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 the player who finishes his cards is out of the game and will simply have to wait while the remaining players finish the game.

Not much to say here. Just watch what the other players are asking for so you can know what cards they definitely have. If you're playing with more than two players make sure to pay attention to what the other players ask each other for and what they say Go Fish too, that way you can learn which cards they definitely have and which cards they definitely don't have.
