- This is the traditional children's card game "Go Fish". We each get seven
- cards, and the rest of the deck is kept to be drawn from later. The
- object of the game is to collect "books", or all of the cards of a single
- value. For example, getting four 2's would give you a "book of 2's".
- We take turns asking each other for cards, but you can't ask me for a card
- value if you don't have one of them in your hand! If I have any cards of
- the value you ask for, I have to give them to you. As long as I have one
- of the cards you ask for, you get to keep asking. If you ask me for a
- card of which I don't have any, then I'll tell you to "Go Fish!" This
- means that you draw a card from the deck. If you draw the card you asked
- me for, you get to keep asking me for cards. If not, it's my turn and I ask
- you for a card.
- Sometimes you get to ask first, sometimes I do. I'll tell you when it's
- your turn to move, I'll draw cards from the deck for you, and I'll tell
- you what you have in your hand. (Don't worry, I don't look at your hand
- when I'm trying to decide what card to ask for, honest!)
- Your input can be a card name ("A", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8",
- "9", "10", "J", "Q" or "K") or the letter "p", or "quit". The letter "p"
- makes my game much smarter, and the line "quit" stops the game. Just
- hitting the carriage return key displays how many cards I have in my hand,
- how many are left in the deck, and which books I've gotten.
- Normally, the game stops when one of us runs out of cards, and the winner
- is whoever has the most books!
- Good luck!
