Go Fish to 10

  • Use only the 0-10 cards. Put all others back in the box.
  • Shuffle the cards and place the deck in the middle.
  • Each player starts by taking 7 cards.
  • Partner one asks for a number that makes a complement of 10. (ex: If I have a 2, I would ask “Do you have an 8?”)
  • Partner two either gives the card away, or says “Go Fish”.
  • If you have any matches in your hand or when you draw, place them to the side together.
  • Play until the deck is gone. The winner is the player with the most complement of 10 matches!
