Etymology

[edit]

marja (berry) +‎ pussi (bag). The card game is a four-hand variant of a German card game named after French mariage (marriage), so called because a "marriage" of king and queen of the same color is an advantageous combination in it. The game was described in Frauenzimmer-Lexicon of 1715, and a currently played variant of it is known in Germany as Sechsundsechzig (sixty-six). The Finnish word marjapussi sounds somewhat similar and has become the Finnish name of this game.
