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 his 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 he draws the +card he asked for, he continue his 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. +.Pp +.Nm +provides instructions as to what input it accepts. |
