.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.IX "fish command" "" "\fLfish\fP \(em Go Fish game"
|
|
.B fish
|
|
plays the game of \*(lqGo Fish\*(rq,
|
|
a children's card game. The object is to
|
|
accumulate "books" of 4 cards with the same face value. The
|
|
players alternate turns; each turn begins with one player
|
|
selecting a card from his hand, and asking the other player for
|
|
all cards of that face value. If the other player has one or
|
|
more cards of that face value in his hand, he gives them to the
|
|
first player, and the first player makes another request.
|
|
Eventually, the first player asks for a card which is not in
|
|
the second player's hand: he replies
|
|
`\s-1GO FISH\s0!'
|
|
The first
|
|
player then draws a card from the "pool" of undealt cards. If
|
|
this is the card he had last requested, he draws again. When a
|
|
book is made, either through drawing or requesting, the cards
|
|
are laid down and no further action takes place with that face
|
|
value.

character gives you information about the

size of my hand and the

pool, and tells you about my books. Saying

as a first

guess puts you into "pro" level; the default is pretty dumb.
