Matrimony is a patience or card solitaire game that uses two packs of 52 playing cards. It is a difficult game which depends mostly on luck and is sometimes mechanical.
While the words matrimony and marriage are synonymous with each other, this game should not be confused with Royal Marriage, which is sometimes also given the name Matrimony.[1]
Like many patience games, there is more than one set of rules, and there are two main versions of Matrimony. The one described below is from Peter Arnold's Card Games for One.[2]
