Go Fish is the game that teaches the whole world to hold cards. Ask an opponent for a rank you already hold; if they have it, they must hand it over — if not, you “go fish” from the pond. Collect the most four-of-a-kind books to win.

Our computer opponents remember what you ask for (with charmingly human lapses), so every question you ask is also information you give away.

## How to Play Go Fish by Yourself

1. Deal 7 cards to yourself and each of the three computer players; the rest becomes the pond.
2. On your turn, ask one opponent for a rank you hold at least one of.
3. If they have cards of that rank, they hand over all of them — and you go again.
4. If not, they say “Go fish!” and you draw one card from the pond.
5. Complete a book of all four cards of a rank and lay it down.
6. When every book is claimed, the player with the most books wins.

## Rules of Go Fish

- You may only ask for a rank you already hold in your hand.
- A successful ask gives you another turn; “go fish” passes the turn on.
- Drawing the exact rank you asked for lets you keep your turn (classic rule).
- Books (all four of a rank) are laid face up immediately.
- The game ends when all thirteen books are complete.

## Winning Strategies for Go Fish

- Remember every ask — anyone who requests 9s has 9s, and so does anyone who took yours.
- Ask for ranks you hold three of; the last card has only one place to hide.
- Vary your questions so opponents can’t map your whole hand from your asks.
- Late in the game, count the pond: sometimes fishing is genuinely better than asking.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I play Go Fish alone?

Yes — this version pits you against three computer players with tuned memory, so the classic family game works great solo.

### How many cards do you deal in Go Fish?

With four players, seven cards each is standard. The remaining cards form the draw pile, or “pond.”

### Do you ask for a rank or a specific card?

A rank. Asking “do you have any sevens?” collects every 7 that opponent holds, whatever the suits.

### Is Go Fish good for kids?

It is one of the best: it quietly trains memory, turn-taking and honest play, and a round takes about ten minutes.
