The games play like classic Go Fish. There are two decks of 50 cards in each game one for children ages 4 to 8 years old and the other for children ages 8 to 11 years old. It differs from classic go fish in that players must answer a question before they can accept a requested card. Instead of the usual number and picture cards, the cards have fun pictures of fish and fish names. For example, a player may ask, Do you have any Henry Herrings? If the player receives a Henry Herring card, the player reads the question on the card aloud and answers it. All questions are open ended. If the player did not have any Henry Herrings, the player would say, go fish, and then the first player would take a card from the ocean (extra cards in the center of the table). A rules sheet and facilitator guidelines are included. 

Suitable for children ages 5 to 11 years old; each game takes about 20 minutes to play and can be played by 2- 5 participants.
