Is the card game patience same as go fish?

No, patience and Go Fish are not the same game. They are distinct card games with different rules and goals.

Here's a breakdown:

Patience (also known as Solitaire):

* Objective: To arrange all cards in descending order by suit from King to Ace.

* Gameplay: Typically played with a single deck of cards, the player deals cards to the table in a specific pattern and attempts to create sequences by moving cards around.

* Solitaire: This refers to a large family of patience games with various rules and layouts.

Go Fish:

* Objective: To collect four-of-a-kind sets of cards.

* Gameplay: Players take turns asking each other for specific cards. If a player has the requested card, they must give it to the asker. If not, the asker draws a card from the deck.

* Multiplayer: Go Fish is typically played with two or more players.

While both games use a standard deck of cards, their gameplay and objectives are quite different.
