Go Fish is a classic and easy-to-learn card game that can be played with a standard 52-card deck. It is perfect for players of all ages and can be played with 2 or more players. The objective of the game is to collect the most sets of four cards by asking other players for cards of the same rank.

To start the game, the deck is shuffled and each player is dealt 5 cards. The remaining cards are placed in a draw pile in the center of the table. The player to the left of the dealer goes first.

On your turn, you can ask any other player if they have a specific card rank, for example, “Do you have any threes?”. The player must then give you all the cards of that rank from their hand. If they don’t have any, they will say “Go Fish” and you must draw a card from the draw pile. If the drawn card happens to be the one you asked for, you can continue to ask for another rank.

If you manage to collect four cards of the same rank, you have a set and must place it face-up in front of you. Sets can be any four of a kind, such as four Aces or four Jacks.

If you run out of cards in your hand, you must draw five more from the draw pile. If there are no more cards left in the draw pile, the game ends.

The game continues with players taking turns asking for cards until someone has no more cards in their hand or the draw pile is empty. Once the game ends, players count their sets of four cards. The player with the most sets wins the game.

Here are a few tips to help you win at Go Fish:

1. Remember what cards have been asked for and given to you. Keep track of this information to make informed decisions on what to ask for next.

2. Pay attention to what other players are asking for. If you see a player constantly asking for the same card rank, you may want to hold onto yours or ask for it yourself.
