The Rules of the Game

You can only ask for a rank if you already have at least one card of that rank in your hand. If you ask for 'Kings' and your opponent has any, they MUST give you all of them. If they have none, they say 'Go Fish!' and you draw from the pool. If you draw the rank you just asked for, you show it and take another turn. If your hand becomes empty, you immediately draw a new card from the pool (if any remain) to keep playing.

Your First Voyage: Step-by-Step

Draft Your Strategy: Look at your starting 7 cards. Which ranks do you have multiples of? Those are your first targets.
Make a Request: Select your opponent and the rank you want to ask for (e.g., 'Do you have any 3s?').
Handle the Response: If they have the cards, you take them and your turn continues. If they say 'Go Fish!', click the pool to draw.
The Extra Turn: If you 'catch' the 3 you were looking for from the pool, you get to go again!
Finalize the Book: As soon as you have all four cards of a rank, they are automatically removed from your hand and placed in your 'Book' pile.

Keeping Score in the Pool

We track your points in real-time. Every completed book adds 1 point to your total. We also keep a tally of your 'Win/Loss' record and the 'Accuracy' of your requests—showing how often you successfully 'caught' a card versus how often you were forced to fish.

Tactical Advice for Memory Masters

Listen to Every Request: If your opponent asks you for 6s, you know they have at least one 6. Later, if YOU draw a 6, you know exactly where to find the others!
Target Their Recent Draws: If your opponent just fished a card and then immediately completed a book of 10s, they likely have other 10s or similar cards. Watch their patterns.
Bluffing (Carefully): Sometimes it's better to ask for a rank you only have one of, just to see if they have it, rather than asking for the one you've been collecting for three turns.
Manage Your Hand Size: Having too many cards makes you a target. Having too few cards limits your options for asking. Try to keep a balanced hand.
