1 | This is the traditional children's card game "Go Fish". We each get seven |
2 | cards, and the rest of the deck is kept to be drawn from later. The | |
3 | object of the game is to collect "books", or all of the cards of a single | |
4 | value. For example, getting four 2's would give you a "book of 2's". | |
5 | ||
6 | We take turns asking each other for cards, but you can't ask me for a card | |
7 | value if you don't have one of them in your hand! If I have any cards of | |
8 | the value you ask for, I have to give them to you. As long as I have one | |
9 | of the cards you ask for, you get to keep asking. If you ask me for a | |
10 | card of which I don't have any, then I'll tell you to "Go Fish!" This | |
11 | means that you draw a card from the deck. If you draw the card you asked | |
12 | me for, you get to keep asking me for cards. If not, it's my turn and I ask | |
13 | you for a card. | |
14 | ||
15 | Sometimes you get to ask first, sometimes I do. I'll tell you when it's | |
16 | your turn to move, I'll draw cards from the deck for you, and I'll tell | |
17 | you what you have in your hand. (Don't worry, I don't look at your hand | |
18 | when I'm trying to decide what card to ask for, honest!) | |

20 | Your input can be a card name ("A", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", | |
21 | "9", "10", "J", "Q" or "K") or the letter "p", or "quit". The letter "p" | |
22 | makes my game much smarter, and the line "quit" stops the game. Just | |
23 | hitting the carriage return key displays how many cards I have in my hand, | |
24 | how many are left in the deck, and which books I've gotten. | |
25 | ||
26 | Normally, the game stops when one of us runs out of cards, and the winner | |
27 | is whoever has the most books! | |

29 | Good luck! |
