PLAYING CARDS There are 52 cards in a pack Each pack contains 4 suits: Hearts, Clubs, Diamonds, Spades Each suit has 13 cards The rank of each card is shown in the top left hand corner Kings, Queens and Jacks are sometimes referred to as “face cards” An ACE is a special card as it can have either a “high” value or a
“low” value Jokers are often used as “wildcards” in a game and can be used
instead of the real card At the start of a game, one person is always chosen to be the
dealer The dealer must shuffle and give the correct amount of cards to
each player
GO FISH!Number of Players: 2 to 6 playersGoal: To collect the most sets of four cardsSetup: The dealer shuffles and gives five cards to each player. All remaining cards
are placed face down in a draw pileRules: Randomly choose a player to go first On your turn, ask a player for a specific card rank. For example: “Kate, please
give me your 9s." You must already hold at least one card of the requested rank in your hand
If the player you ask has any of the cards you request, she must give you all of her cards of that rank. In the example above, Kate would have to give you all of her 9s
If you get one or more cards from the player you ask, you get another turn. You may ask any player for any rank you already hold, including the same one you just asked for
If the person you ask has no relevant cards, they say "Go fish." You then draw the top card from the draw pile
If you happen to draw a card of the rank asked for, show it to the other players and you get another turn. However, if you draw a card that's not what you asked for, it becomes the next player's turn. You keep the drawn card, whatever rank it is.
When you collect a set of four cards of the same rank, immediately show the set to the other players and place the four cards face down in front of yourself
When the draw pile runs out, keep playing until all of the cards have been made into sets of four. When the draw pile is exhausted, no one says "Go fish." If you ask someone for a card she doesn't have, it becomes her turn.
Winning: Go Fish continues until either someone has no cards left in their hand or the draw pile runs out. The winner is the player who then has the most sets of four
HAPPY FISHING!
OLD MAIDOld Maid is part of a family of card games known as "scapegoat" games. In
scapegoat games, the goal is to avoid having a particular card or cardsPlayers: 2 to 8 playersGoal: To avoid being the player who ends the game holding the Old MaidSetup: Remove three of the queens from the deck - the remaining queen is the
Old Maid. Choose a dealer. The dealer shuffles and distributes the cards as evenly as possible among the group. It's acceptable for some players to have more cards than others
Rules Players sort their cards and discard any pairs. If a player has three of a kind,
he discards two of the cards and keeps the third The dealer then offers his hand, face down, to the player on his left. That
player randomly takes one card from the dealer. If the card matches one he already has in his hand, he puts the pair down. If not, he keeps it
Play proceeds clockwise, so the player to the left of the dealer then offers his hand, face down, to the player on his left. This cycle repeats until there are no more pairs and the only remaining card is the Old Maid.
Winning: The game ends when the Old Maid is the only card in play. The person holding the Old Maid loses
PIGPlayers 3 to 13 playersGoal: To be the first to collect four cards of the same rank. If another player
beats you to that goal, you must not be the last to realize itSetup: For each player in the game, you need four cards of the same rank from
the deck. The dealer shuffles and gives four cards to each playerRules: At the same time, players all choose one card from their hands and pass it to
the player on their left. Next they pick up the card they've received from the player on their right
Each player can never have more than four cards in his hand. It's illegal for a player to pick up a new card before passing one to the left
When a player collects four of a kind, he quietly touches his nose When one player does this, every other player must do the same, as quickly as
possible The last player to touch his nose, loses
Scoring: Each player has 3 lives. The last player to touch his nose loses a life. When a player loses all 3 lives, he is eliminated from the game. Remove a set of four cards from the deck and play another round
Winning: The final two players in the game are co-winners
