Go Fish is a simple, fun card game for beginners. Here’s how to play:

  • Setup: Use a standard 52-card deck. Two to six players can join.
  • Deal Cards: Each player gets 5 cards (7 if only 2 players).
  • Objective: Collect sets of 4 matching cards.
  • Gameplay:
    1. Players take turns asking another player for a specific card rank (e.g., “Do you have any threes?”).
    2. If the asked player has the card, they must give all matching cards to the requester.
    3. If not, they say “Go Fish,” and the requester draws one card from the deck.
  • Forming Sets: When a player collects all four cards of the same rank, they place the set face-up.
  • Winning: The game ends when all sets are formed. The player with the most sets wins.
