The Marriage Card Game is a popular Nepali card game played with friends and family, often during festivals or gatherings.

Here’s a quick overview of the game:

⸻

🎴 What is the Marriage Card Game?
• It’s a rummy-style game, traditionally played in Nepal.
• Played with 3 decks of cards (including jokers) — so 162 cards.
• Usually played by 2–5 players.
• The goal is to arrange your cards into valid sets and sequences and collect points.

🔷 Basic Rules:

✅ Each player is dealt 21 cards.
✅ The remaining cards form the draw pile.
✅ Players take turns drawing one card and discarding one.
✅ The aim is to:
• Create valid sequences (3 or more consecutive cards of the same suit).
• Create sets (3 or 4 of the same rank in different suits).
• Find the “Marriage” — a special combination of the King, Queen, and Jack of the same suit.
✅ Jokers and “Paplu,” “Taplu,” and “Jhiplu” (special cards) are used as wild cards.

💎 Special Cards & Points:
• Paplu — Joker of the same suit as the joker card.
• Taplu — Next card in sequence after the joker card in the joker’s suit.
• Jhiplu — Previous card in sequence before the joker card in the joker’s suit.
• These special cards and “Marriage” earn bonus points at the end.
