Go Fish

I know I had, at some point in my childhood, a deck of cards specifically made for playing Go Fish. I think each suit had a different color so it was easier to see when you had all four?

Anyway, if you aren't familiar with Go Fish, this is how it works: Each player gets 5 cards. You ask the other player(s) if they have any of a certain card. (You must have at least one of that card in your hand.) If they have that card, they have to give you one. If they don't, they tell you to "go fish" and you draw a card from the pile (called the "ocean" or the "pool"). Then it's their turn, and so on. The goal is to get all four of any given card, then you lay them face-up (this pile of four like cards is called a "book," which doesn't at all fit the theme of fishing) and work on getting the rest of your cards. Ultimately, you want to get rid of all your cards and have the most "books."

Birk won, but just barely.

Also, I learned that there's a hashtag for #cardsinbed on Instagram.
