Carleton Fish Club was dedicated to bringing people together to play a card game known as Fish (also known as Canadian Fish, Literature, or Recollection).
There are four suits: clubs (♣), diamonds (♦), hearts (♥), and spades (♠). Each suit is distributed into either a low or high set. Typically, the low set contains the integers 2 through 7, whereas the high set contains the integers 9 and 10, the jack, the queen, the king, and the ace. The 8s and jokers constitute an additional set which consists of the 8 of clubs, the 8 of diamonds, the 8 of hearts, the 8 of spades, the black joker, and the red joker. Thus, there are nine half-suits to compete over.
The objective is to win more half-suits than the other team.
Fish can be played with 4 to 12 players, but it is typically played with 6 or 8 players in two teams.
When possible, we would convene in person to play. Otherwise, we would convene remotely and use this website.
