Talk:Go Fish

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I rewrote this based on both my experience and information I could find. But a few things remain unclear. In the basic game with more than two players:

  • To whom does the turn pass when the player whose turn it is has no cards?
  • When only one of the players runs out of cards, the remaining players would naturally ask each other for cards, and so the fished-out player could effectively take no further part in the game. Is this really what happens?

[edit] Mistake?

"The recipient of the request must then hand over all cards of that rank"

Yet, as I understand it, if a player has a pair, he/she puts it down on the table... How can one have several cards of the same rank then? IronChris | (talk) 05:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

It's simple - somebody once upon a time made a total mess of editing the article. I've just cleaned it up. -- Smjg 00:59, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Game over when?

"The game ends when all cards in a player's hand are played down, and the player who won the most books wins." This is unclear. Is the game over when any one player has all cards down or when all players have all their cards down. If the former, then how could the player whose turn it is ever be out of cards, as is discussed further in the article? Wouldn't that be the end of the game? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tpellman (talk • contribs) 17:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
