How to play Go Fish

Go Fish is the classic family card game. Ask your opponent for cards of a rank you hold, fish from the pond when they have none, and collect sets of four — called books. Most books wins.

  • Remember what your opponent asks for — they're holding that rank, so ask for it back when you draw one.
  • Ask for the rank you hold most of first; three of a kind needs only one more card.
