Go Fish - if you are a parent; a grandparent; an aunt or uncle - chances are you have played Go Fish! It is generally played with 2-5 players, but can be played with up to 10 players. The age range is 4-10 years old. While there are special "Go Fish" cards, this game can actually be played with a deck of cards. Five cards are dealt to each player and the remaining cards are shuffled in a pool in the center. The first player begins by asking the player directly to the left if they have any cards of a particular value. The player asking must have at least one of the card asked for in hand. The player who is being asked must hand over all cards of that value to the person asking. If the person asking has none, they reply "Go Fish" and the player asking picks one card from the center pile and places it in their hand. Then the next player goes, UNLESS, the person picked a card from the pile that is of the value asked for. If this happens, the player shows it to the other players and takes another turn. Play continues to the left.
Once a player has all four cards of the same value, they place those cards face down in front of them to form a "book". Play continues until all cards have been laid down in books. The player with the most books wins!
