Tap an animal card to ask the computer for it. Collect all four of a kind to make a book — most books wins!
Go Fish is the classic kids' card game of asking, fishing, and collecting — and you can play it free online right here, against the computer. Tap an animal in your hand to ask for it: if the computer has any, you take them all; if not, go fish in the pond! Collect all four of an animal to make a book. When all thirteen books are made, the player with more books wins.
Go Fish grew out of nineteenth-century collecting games like Authors and Happy Families, and it has been a first card game for generations of kids ever since. It teaches turn-taking, counting, and a little friendly memory strategy — you learn a lot from what the other player asks for. This version swaps the usual numbers for thirteen animal friends, but the rules are the classic ones you'd play at the kitchen table.
How many cards do you start with in Go Fish? With two players, each side starts with seven cards. The rest of the deck goes face-down in the middle to make the pond — the pile you draw from when you go fish.
What happens when the pond runs out of cards? You keep taking turns asking for animals — you just can't draw anymore. When a hand runs out of cards too, the game ends and whoever has made more books wins.
Does the computer cheat? No — the computer never looks at your cards. It only remembers the last few animals you asked for, just like a person playing fair across the table would.
How do you win Go Fish? Collect books — all four cards of the same animal. When all thirteen books have been made, the player with more books wins.
Is Go Fish free? Yes — every game on Limestone Games is completely free. No signup, no downloads, just play.
