🎴 Setup
- Choose a dealer and the dealer shuffles all 52 number cards. Each player gets 7 cards if there are 4 players or fewer. Each gets 5 cards if there are more than 4 players.
- The rest are placed face-down in the center as the "Ocean".
🎮 Gameplay
- Play starts with the dealer's left player. The player will look at his or her cards and then start to "fish" the cards.
- The player can ask any player for number cards. For example "Do you have any (3s)?". You can only ask for numbers that you have in your hand.
- If the player has any of the number cards you requested, you take them, and your turn continues.
- If the player doesn't have any, they will say "Go Fish". At this point, you draw a card from the "Ocean" pile:
- If the card you draw matches the card number you asked for, put it in your hand, and you can continue your turn to ask for other numbers.
- If the card does not match the card number you asked for, your game round ends, and it is the next player's turn.
- As soon as you have 4 cards of the same number (a "book"), you place them face-up in front of you.
🏆 Winning
- Count your "books". The player with the most "books" wins!
