Hojo Pojo is an entertaining card game experience much like Go Fish. Throughout the game, players try to collect sets of four cards, also called "books." At the beginning of each round, players are dealt a hand of cards, setting the stage for strategic exchanges and competitive gameplay.
Cards that the players need to complete their sets are asked from one another in a round by each player in turn. If a player that has been asked has the card, they must give it to the requesting player. If not, they must say "Go Pojo," and the asking player must draw from the deck in the hope that they get what they need.
Whenever a player draws any four cards of the same rank, they have formed a "book" and are laid down. In that case, a card is drawn from the deck. This game proceeds like this until the deck is used up. The person with the most books wins the game and thus becomes the best gatherer and navigator of the rounds.
Some variations of Hojo Pojo include:

Players are trying to eat as much food as they can before the Sauce Cards run out. If you can get the most points, then you'll become the winner. Look out for the King of the Pot card since this could throw a kink in your strategy.
