How to play
Each player gets 7 cards. The rest of the cards are placed in a pile in the middle as the draw pile.
Players try to make matches, connecting a picture card (partially covered array) with a number (a product card).
Once players can't make any more matches using their own cards, they can take turns to ask their opponent for a card.
If their opponent has the card, they must give it to the asking player.
If they don't, they say 'go fish' and the player gets a card from the pile in the middle.
If at any point a player has no cards left, they can pick up another 7 cards from the draw pile.
Play continues until all there are no cards left in the draw pile and/or all matches have been made.
The player with the most matches at the end is the winner!
Other ways to play
To challenge yourself and extend the number range, add the expansion pack to the gamecards.
Discuss/ reflect
What strategies did you use to work out how many dots were in the array?
Was there a product that had more than one matching array? Could there have been other arrays that matched the product? Which ones?
If you played the game again tomorrow, what’s an adaptation we could make?
