Each player gets 7 cards. The rest of the cards are placed in a pile in the middle
Players try to make pairs that are 1 more, 1 less, 2 more, or 2 less.
Once they can't make any more pairs, they can take turns to ask their opponent
If their opponent has a card of that number they must give it to the asking player
If they don't, they say 'Go Fish' and the player gets a card from the central pile of cards.
Play continues until one player has no more cards left in their hand. They are the winner!
