How to play Go Fish

Collect the most sets of four.

These are the rules for the PlayBurst version. Other versions may play differently.

Rules and controls

  1. 1. Ask for a rank

    Ask another player for a rank you already hold at least one of.

  2. 2. Take or fish

    They hand over every card of that rank and you ask again. If they have none, they say go fish and you draw from the pond.

  3. 3. A lucky draw

    A go fish is one card, and one only. Draw the very rank you asked for and the turn stays with you. Draw anything else and it passes to the next player.

  4. 4. Running out

    Empty your hand while there are still cards in the pond and you are dealt a new one on your turn. You are only out of the game when the pond is out too.

  5. 5. Lay down a set

    Four of a kind is set down at once. The player with the most sets at the end wins.
