 .I Fish

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

+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 ``books'', or all of the members
+of a single rank.
+For example, collecting four 2's would give the player a ``book of
+2's''.

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

+provides instructions as to what input it accepts.
+.SH BUGS
+The computer cheats only rarely.
