PLAYING CARDS

• There are 52 cards in a pack
• Each pack contains 4 suits Hearts, Clubs,
  Diamonds, Spades
• Each suit has 13 cards
• The rank of each card is shown in the top left
  hand corner
• Kings, Queens and Jacks are sometimes referred to
  as face cards
• An ACE is a special card as it can have either a
  high value or a low value
• Jokers are often used as wildcards in a game
  and can be used instead of the real card
• At the start of a game, one person is always
  chosen to be the dealer
• The dealer must shuffle and give the correct
  amount of cards to each player

GO FISH!

• Number of Players 2 to 6 players
• Goal To collect the most sets of four cards
• Setup The dealer shuffles and gives five cards
  to each player. All remaining cards are placed
  face down in a draw pile
• Rules
• Randomly choose a player to go first
• On your turn, ask a player for a specific card
  rank. For example Kate, please give me your
  9s." You must already hold at least one card of
  the requested rank in your hand
• If the player you ask has any of the cards you
  request, she must give you all of her cards of
  that rank. In the example above, Kate would have
  to give you all of her 9s
• If you get one or more cards from the player you
  ask, you get another turn. You may ask any player
  for any rank you already hold, including the same
  one you just asked for

12

• If the person you ask has no relevant cards, they
  say "Go fish." You then draw the top card from
  the draw pile
• If you happen to draw a card of the rank asked
  for, show it to the other players and you get
  another turn. However, if you draw a card that's
  not what you asked for, it becomes the next
  player's turn. You keep the drawn card, whatever
  rank it is.
• When you collect a set of four cards of the same
  rank, immediately show the set to the other
  players and place the four cards face down in
  front of yourself
• When the draw pile runs out, keep playing until
  all of the cards have been made into sets of
  four. When the draw pile is exhausted, no one
  says "Go fish." If you ask someone for a card she
  doesn't have, it becomes her turn.
• Winning Go Fish continues until either someone
  has no cards left in their hand or the draw pile
  runs out. The winner is the player who then has
  the most sets of four
• HAPPY FISHING!

  takes one card from the dealer. If the card
  matches one he already has in his hand, he puts
  the pair down. If not, he keeps it

14

  left of the dealer then offers his hand, face
  down, to the player on his left. This cycle
