Go Fish- Jamaican card game?


Believe it or not "Go Fish" is not a Jamaican original Card game. Although the exact origin of  the Go Fish is unclear, it is generally believed to have had its origins in the United States during the late 19th century. There are several theories about its origin, but none have been definitively proven.


The game is typically played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards and can be played with two or more players. The standard objective of the game is to collect sets of four matching cards, or "books," by asking other players if they have a specific card and then "fishing" for that card if the player does not have it.


While the basic rules of the game have remained the same over time, Go Fish has evolved over the years with different variations and adaptations. There are now versions of the game with different themes and variations in the rules, such as Alphabet Go Fish, which uses letters instead of numbers or animals, and more complex versions such as Strip-Go-Fish which include forfeits.
