Directions!
1. Shuffle the 32 cards. Deal 5 cards to each player. Go Fish
is best if you use 3 – 5 players.
2. Place the remaining cards face-down in the center
forming the draw deck.
3. Start with the dealer. Ask any player for a card you would
like to match with a current card in your hand. If you have
½ , you may ask any person for the equivalent fraction of
½ to complete your pair.
4. Lay the matching pair down.
5. If the player does not have the card you asked for, they
will say "Go Fish!" and you draw a new card from the draw
deck.
6. Continue playing clockwise to the next player.
7. Continue playing until there are no cards left in the draw
deck.
8. Complete the game by continuing play as normal, but
without the draw deck, until all possible pairs have been
matched.
9. Count each players number of pairs.
The player with the most pairs is the winner of the
game!
