| 13 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 14 | .I Fish | |
| 15 | plays the game of \*(lqGo Fish\*(rq, | |
| 16 | a childrens' card game. The Object is to | |
| 17 | accumulate `books' of 4 cards with the same face value. The | |
| 18 | players alternate turns; each turn begins with one player | |
| 19 | selecting a card from his hand, and asking the other player for | |
| 20 | all cards of that face value. If the other player has one or | |
| 21 | more cards of that face value in his hand, he gives them to the | |
| 22 | first player, and the first player makes another request. | |
| 23 | Eventually, the first player asks for a card which is not in | |
| 24 | the second player's hand: he replies `GO FISH!' The first | |
| 25 | player then draws a card from the `pool' of undealt cards. If | |
| 26 | this is the card he had last requested, he draws again. When a | |
| 27 | book is made, either through drawing or requesting, the cards | |
| 28 | are laid down and no further action takes place with that face | |
| 29 | value. | |

| 31 | To play the computer, simply make guesses by typing a, | |
| 32 | 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, j, q, or k when asked. Hitting | |
| 33 | return gives you information about the size of my hand and the | |
| 34 | pool, and tells you about my books. Saying `p' as a first | |
| 35 | guess puts you into `pro' level; The default is pretty dumb. |
