Card Game – Go Fish!

Set up:

For 2-3 players, deal 7 cards each. If there are more than 3 players, deal 5 cards each. The rest of the deck is then put in the centre.

Game play:

Each player takes a turn in clockwise order (to the dealer's left). During a turn the player asks another player if they have a particular rank of card. For example, the player may ask Tony if he has any nines. If Tony has any nines, then he must give all of his nines to the player. If Tony doesn't have any nines, then he says "go fish". When you "go fish" you can take a card from the deck in the centre. If the player gets the card they asked for, either from the deck or from Tony, then the player gets another turn. If the player gets all four suits of the same rank, then they can put the cards face up in front of them. For example, if you already had a nine of hearts, clubs and spades and then you picked up the nine of diamonds from the deck, you then get to place the set of nine cards down in front of you and you get another turn.
