43 | .Nm | |
984263bc | 44 | is the game |
1a3c4bd7 | 45 | .Dq Go Fish , |
984263bc | 46 | a traditional children's card game. |
1a3c4bd7 | 47 | .Pp |
984263bc MD |
48 | The computer deals the player and itself seven cards, and places |
49 | the rest of the deck face-down (figuratively). | |
1a3c4bd7 SW |
50 | The object of the game is to collect |
51 | .Dq books , | |
52 | or all of the members of a single rank. | |
53 | For example, collecting four 2's would give the player a | |
54 | .Dq book of 2's . | |
55 | .Pp | |
984263bc | 56 | The options are as follows: |

62 | The computer makes a random decision as to who gets to start the |
63 | game, and then the computer and player take turns asking each other | |
64 | for cards of a specified rank. | |
65 | If the asked player has any cards of the requested rank, they give | |
66 | them up to the asking player. | |
67 | A player must have at least one of the cards of the rank they request | |
68 | in their hand. | |
69 | When a player asks for a rank of which the other player has no | |
1a3c4bd7 SW |
70 | cards, the asker is told to |
71 | .Dq Go Fish! . | |
984263bc MD |
72 | Then, the asker draws a card from the non-dealt cards. |
73 | If they draw the card they asked for, they continue their turn, asking | |
74 | for more ranks from the other player. | |
75 | Otherwise, the other player gets a turn. | |
1a3c4bd7 | 76 | .Pp |
984263bc MD |
77 | When a player completes a book, either by getting cards from the |
78 | other player or drawing from the deck, they set those cards aside and | |
79 | the rank is no longer in play. | |
1a3c4bd7 | 80 | .Pp |
984263bc MD |
81 | The game ends when either player no longer has any cards in their hand. |
82 | The player with the most books wins. | |
