Go Fish is a card game whose origins can be traced back to the mid-19th century (often known as just Fish, or Quartet).
Originally produced in 1991, and impossible to locate, this twenty-fifth anniversary edition is available from Amazon for less than twelve dollars, here.
"I had grown up playing 'Go Fish' as a kid. So I had this idea of creating a deck of cards, and packaging it as though it was a can of sardines. Each card had a 'name', an occupation or an attribute that ended in "er". That was just a self-imposed device to prod me to come up with characters. It's always helpful to me to create some kind of system to work in.”
