gofish
Go Fish is a standard deck playing card game and is one of the first card games taught to children in the United States.
Players are seeking to complete books consisting of four of the same number cards. After dealing cards to each player, players take turns asking another player if they have a card matching one in their hand. If a player has the requested card type, they give them to the asking player, and the asking player asks for a type of card from any other player again. If a player doesn't have the card requested, they say 'Go Fish' and the asking player draws from the draw pile. A draw which results in the last card asked for or in a complete book means the asking player gets another turn.

Rules summary
Overview
The aim is to collect sets of 4 matching cards
Turn
If you have a card, you can ask another player for cards of the same rank.
If they have those cards, they must give you all copies.
If they don't, you draw a card from the draw pile.
If the rank of the drawn card is what you asked last or the card completes a 4 of a kind, you get another turn.
Scoring
Each time you hold 4 of the same card, you declare this and place them out to show as a "Book"
When either the deck runs out or someone empties their hand, the player with the most Books wins
