Go Fish can be played by 2 - 5 players

A full pack of cards is used but if young children are playing they can remove the kings, Queen, Jacks and Aces

The cards are dealt face down to the players

If there are 2 - 3 players they are dealt 7 cards each

If there are 4 or 5 players they are dealt 5 cards each

The remaining cards are put face down in a pile in the center of the table.

The players need to get 4 cards of the same number.

The first player looks at the cards in his or her hand. She or he can ask any player for a number she or he needs buy asking "Do you have any " and the number.

If the one asked has one or more cards with that number they are handed over to the player who asked for it.

If the one asked does not have the number he or she says " Go fish"

The player that asked can take a card from the pile in the center of the table

..and it is the next players turn

.... but if the player who's turn it was has 4 of the same number, they can take the 4 cards from the ones in their hand and put it in a pile next to them and take another turn or keep them in his or her hand and the turn goes to the next player.

Each player takes turns asking for a number from anyone of the players.

When one of the players lays down his entire hand with matched sets of 4 cards he wins and the game ends.

If there are no more cards in the center of the table, the player with the most sets of 4 cards wins.
