Rules:Go Fish

From CCG Workshop Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This game, often just known as Fish, is best for 3-6 players, but it is possible for 2 to play. The dealer deals 5 cards to each player (7 each for 2 players). The remaining cards are placed face down to form a stock.

A turn consists of asking a specific player for a specific card. For example, if it is my turn I might say: 'nipa, please give me your DoomTrooper cards'. The player who asks must already hold at least one card of the requested rank, so I must hold at least one DoomTrooper card to say this. If the player who was asked (nipa) has cards of the named game (DoomTrooper in this case), he must give all his cards of this game to the player who asked for them. That player then gets another turn and may again ask any player for any game card already held by the asker.

If the person asked does not have any cards of the named game, they say 'Go fish!'. The asker must then draw the top card of the undealt stock. If the drawn card is the card asked for, the asker shows it and gets another turn. If the drawn card is not the card asked for, the asker keeps it, but the turn now passes to the next player.

As soon as a player collects 4 cards of the same game, this must be shown. The game continues until either someone has no cards left in their hand or the stock runs out. The winner is the player who then has the most games discarded.

If you have 4 of that particular card in hand, it will play all 4 cards automatically on the sand. Otherwise, you will get a warning that you do not have enough cards to score a set.

To Sort Cards in Hand

Right click on any one of the cards in your hand then select "Sort Cards" and choose the appropriate option. You would be able to sort the cards in your hand alphabetically from A-Z or Z-A, or to move the card you clicked on to the bottom (front). To move the card to the top (back), double (left) click on it.
