How to Play Go Fish:

Objective: Your objective is to win the most "sets" of cards. A "set" is all the matching cards for a specific person. (With this personalized game you can have a set be 2, 3, or 4 cards) 

Setting Up the Game: Shuffle the cards and deal them to each player. We usually deal 5 cards to each person but if you have a large set of cards or only a couple of players you may want to deal 6 or 7 cards. Place the remaining cards in a stack in the middle of the playing area. 

YOUR TURN: Pick someone to start, could be the youngest person, by the roll of a dice or any other method you want to use to decide who goes first.  On your turn, you pick a person and ask them for a specific card. For example "Dad do you have any Grandma Cards?" The person asking (fishing) must have at least one of those cards in their hand. The player who is being asked must give all the cards requested. If they don't have any of the requested cards they say "Go fish" and the player who requested the cards draws the top card from the draw pile and adds it to their hand. 

If the player gets one or more cards that were requested they can then ask the same or another player for a card. As long as the player continues to get cards (catch fish) their turn continues. If the player doesn't receive a card and has to "go fish" that is the end of their turn and the turn passes to the player on the left. 

The game ends when all sets of cards have been won. The winner is the player with the most books.
