.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
is the game
|
||
|
|
.Dq Go Fish ,
|
||
|
|
a traditional children's card game.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The computer deals the player and itself seven cards, and places
|
||
|
|
the rest of the deck face-down (figuratively).
|
||
|
|
The object of the game is to collect
|
||
|
|
.Dq books ,
|
||
|
|
or all of the members of a single rank.
|
||
|
|
For example, collecting four 2's would give the player a
|
||
|
|
.Dq book of 2's .
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
||

||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The computer makes a random decision as to who gets to start the
|
||
|
|
game, and then the computer and player take turns asking each other
|
||
|
|
for cards of a specified rank.
|
||
|
|
If the asked player has any cards of the requested rank, they give
|
||
|
|
them up to the asking player.
|
||
|
|
A player must have at least one of the cards of the rank they request
|
||
|
|
in their hand.
|
||
|
|
When a player asks for a rank of which the other player has no
|
||
|
|
cards, the asker is told to
|
||
|
|
.Dq Go Fish! .
|
||
|
|
Then, the asker draws a card from the non-dealt cards.
|
||
|
|
If they draw the card they asked for, they continue their turn, asking
|
||
|
|
for more ranks from the other player.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, the other player gets a turn.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
When a player completes a book, either by getting cards from the
|
||
|
|
other player or drawing from the deck, they set those cards aside and
|
||
|
|
the rank is no longer in play.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The game ends when either player no longer has any cards in their hand.
|
||
|
|
The player with the most books wins.
