How to play

Ask the others for cards and collect sets of four (in Swedish Finns i sjön). If they do not have what you ask for, you go fishing in the lake.

  • Everyone gets seven cards (five when four or more play). The rest go in the lake.
  • On your turn, ask a player for a rank you hold yourself, for example "Do you have any sevens?".
  • If they have any, they must give you all of them, and you ask again.
  • If they have none, they say "Go fish!" and you fish a card. Then it is the next player’s turn.
  • When you hold all four cards of a rank, you lay them down as a set.
  • If you run out of cards, you fish a new one on your turn. When all thirteen sets are down, the player with the most wins.

Good to know

Asking
Tap a rank in your hand (the cards lie grouped by rank). Then press the Ask button, or tap the player you want to ask when there are more of you.

Undo
Picked the wrong rank? Tap it again, or press Undo. Nothing happens until you ask.

What happened?
The answer stays on the table until the next question: speech bubbles on whoever asked and whoever answered, and the card you fished lies face up beside the lake.

Remember
Watch what the others ask for: whoever asks for kings has kings. The hard computer never forgets.

Vs computer
Choose 1–5 opponents and how hard they are. A win gives experience points and shows on the top list.

With friends
Set up a table and share the code, or invite a friend from Spelbordet’s start page. If someone leaves, a computer player takes over.
