Royal Marriage is a patience or solitaire game using a deck of 52 playing cards.[1] It is an eliminator game in the style of the solitaire game Accordion. The game is so called because the player seems to remove anything that comes between the Queen and the King of the same suit for them to "marry." It also goes under the name Royal Wedding[2] or Matrimony.[3]
