description Go Fish Overview
Go Fish is a traditional matching and set-collection card game played with a standard deck. Players ask one another for cards of a particular rank, and a player who collects all four cards of that rank places the completed set aside; when the requested player has none, the instruction is usually to draw from the stock. Its simple rules have made it a common introductory game for children and families in English-speaking countries.
