Fishers of Men (Go Fish)The basics-
Five cards are dealt to each player, or seven if there are only two players.The player whose turn it is to play asks another player for his/her cards of a particular rank. For example, "Jill, do you have any threes?". A player may only ask for a rank of which he already holds at least one card. The recipient of the request must then hand over all cards of that rank. If the call was successful, the same player has another turn. If the player who was asked has no cards of that rank, he says "Go fish" (or simply "Fish"), and the asking player draws the top card from the pack. The turn then passes to the player who was asked.
When one player has four cards of a given rank, they form a set, and the cards are placed face up on the table. The game ends when all thirteen sets are formed, and the player who won the most sets wins, but Some people prefer to collect 2 cards of a given rank and The game ends when all twenty-six pairs are formed. Both ways are popular.
If the player whose turn it is has no cards left in hand, the game is not over, but he simply draws the top card from the pack and the turn passes.
The Variation- Instead of asking for the rank ask for the specific name of the individual on the card. For example, "Billy do you have Andrew?".
