How to play & deck guide
YOUR DECK 52 standard cards: Ace, 2–10, Jack, Queen, and King in clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades. Plus one red joker, one black joker, and one CardGameCreator promo card. Every back uses the same photo design. Remove the promo card before playing. Set jokers aside unless your game calls for them. GO FISH · 2–6 players · About 15 minutes Goal: collect the most books. A book is all four cards of one rank, such as all four queens. Suits do not affect a request. 1. SET UP Remove both jokers and the promo card. Shuffle the 52 playing cards. Deal seven cards to each player for 2–3 players, or five each for 4–6. Place the rest face down as the draw pile. Keep your hand hidden. The player to the dealer's left starts; play moves clockwise. Lay down any complete books you already hold. 2. ASK Choose another player and ask for a rank already in your hand, for example, “Do you have any queens?” That player must give you every card of that rank. If you receive at least one, ask again. You may change the player or the rank, but you must still hold the rank you request. Lay down a book as soon as you collect all four cards. 3. GO FISH If the player has none, they say “Go fish.” Draw one card if any remain. If it is the rank you requested, show it and ask again. Otherwise, keep it and pass the turn to the left. If the draw pile is empty, draw nothing and pass the turn. 4. EMPTY HANDS & WINNING Whenever your hand becomes empty, draw one card if the pile is not empty. If your hand emptied during your turn, continue that turn with the new card. With no cards in hand and no draw pile, skip your turns; your books still count. The game ends when all 13 books have been collected. The player with the most books wins; tied players share the win. OTHER WAYS TO PLAY This is a standard playing-card deck, suitable for Solitaire, Rummy, and Poker. Choose the rules for your preferred variant before starting. Player count, game length, and joker use depend on that variant. PHOTO DESIGN GUIDE Upload one sharp photo with room around faces. A portrait composition works best. Choose Classic to retain your original photograph; other available themes may transform it. The selected back design repeats across the deck. The print canvas is 817 × 1113 pixels at 300 DPI, including bleed. Use a source that remains at least that large after cropping. Keep faces, names, and other important details within the central area, at least 109 pixels from each full-canvas edge. Extend the background to every edge. Do not add trim marks or blank padding. Review the final crop before ordering; a screen preview cannot certify the physical trim. FOR FUTURE CARD DESIGNS Keep all ranks, suit marks, and complete lettering inside the same 109-pixel inset. This reserves at least 6 mm inside the estimated finished edge. Use at least 8 pt for guide text, and reflow it instead of crowding the margins. Exact supplier templates take precedence. Custom package artwork is not configured for this product.
