That "Go Fish" is a deck of playing cards. To help esatblish size. The Spider has a very dark brown head. The body is "leaf" shaped and grey/green. The legs are orange/light brown. The fangs are large and black.

This is a spider common to the Northeast? I am in Boston. Wood burning stove. Believe he was carried in on a log.
