* OfficialCouple: Having Elizabeth marry Darcy earns the greatest possible number of marriage points. Jane and Bingley aren't far behind. The other CanonCouples from the book don't even appear as the top suitor choices for their respective characters, implying they aren't the best path to happiness.

Players also can either help or sabotage their fellow players. Event cards, which simulate various happenings in the book, can also dramatically change a player's fortune.

!! ''Marrying Mr. Darcy'' contains examples of:
* ActionInitiative: Players' Cunning attribute determines who goes first in the proposal stage, which becomes crucial if more than one player is gunning for the same suitor.
* AdaptionalAttractiveness: All the characters receive some measure of GenericCuteness in the artwork, even characters noted to be plain such as Charlotte Lucas, Mary Bennet, or Mr. Collins, although other characters do look ''more'' attractive than they do.
* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Drawing a certain card elicits a surprise proposal from Mr. Darcy. Following the book, however, accepting this proposal achieves significantly fewer marriage points than one at the end of the game.
* AscendedExtra: Mr. Denny, a friend of Wickham and a very minor character in the book, is now a possible suitor alongside Darcy, Bingley, and the others. Also, Kitty and Mary, oft-neglected and occasionally AdaptedOut Bennet sisters, are among the possible player characters, and have a chance to woe and marry any of the men.
* BrotherSisterIncest: To prevent this, Darcy is ineligible to Georgiana and Bingley is ineligible to Caroline. Special cards that relate to these characters will include exemptions for players playing Georgiana or Caroline.
* DancesAndBalls: The Netherfield Ball and other similar events are presented in "party cards" that allow all players to roll a die to return their characters' actions and their results.
* DreadfulMuscian: Some of the event cards have you roll a dice to determine the outcome of a musical performance, with this being the consequence of a bad roll.
* {{Elopement}}:Drawing the Elopement card can cause ''any'' character to run away with Wickham, which can only be undone at considerable difficulty, although it's not nearly as permanent or disastrous as the book event it's based on.
* FanPreferredCouple: Mr. Collins is Mary Bennet's top suitor and Col. Fitzwilliams is Georgiana's. Many, ''many'' FanTheories and FanWorks pair the respective couples.
* GoldDigger: Both Wickham and Col. Fitzwilliams have dowry requirements as part of their RelationshipValues, although Col. Fitzwilliams has an alternate, much higher reputation requirement that can be used instead. This is based on Wickham being an outright fortune hunter in the book, and Col. Fitzwilliam being a younger son too poor to pursue the dowry-less Elizabeth.
* GoodLookingPrivates: Col. Fitzwilliam is shown (quite fetchingly) in his uniform, although neither Wickham nor Denny are.
* KissingCousins: Mr. Collins may end up with any of the Bennet girls, and in fact is Mary's top suitor choice.
* NotBloodSiblings: A variant rule set establishes that Caroline and Georgiana are both adopted, taking away the restrictions under BrotherSisterIncest.
* OfficialCouple: Having Elizabeth marry Darcy earns the greatest possible number of marriage points. Jane and Bingley aren't far behind. The other CanonCouples from the book don't even appear as the top suitor choices for their respective characters, implying they aren't the best path to happiness.
* OldMaid: If you either fail to attract any suitors or fail all your proposal rolls, you receive the Old Maid card.
--> You are old. No one wants to marry you.
* PurelyAestheticAppearance: Aside from Jane, who has a Beauty stat marked on her character card, the artwork for each character is completely irrelevant to their Beauty, which is determined by the attribute cards played.
* RelationshipValues: Each suitor has a unique mix of two attributes he is looking for (some suitor have an alternate for one attribute), based primarily on either their stated goals in the book, or in the attributes of their OfficialLoveInterest, although there is some tweaking for CompetitiveBalance.
* SugaryMalice: Many of the Scandal or Event cards imply this.
* VariablePlayerGoals: Since every character has a different list of suitor values, and each suitor has different RelationshipValues, the extent to which player goals conflict is hugely dependent on which characters end up in play. Caroline and Georgiana have little overlap, as neither is eligible for each other's top suitor, whereas Kitty and Lydia have only slight variations in suitor values, so are almost guaranteed to be gunning for the same men, if only as back-up plans. It is also possible to win the game as an Old Maid if your points from attributes are high enough, regardless of what they are in, so players may switch tactics if they realize they will never be able to attract one of their top suitors.
* WeddingsForEveryone: The game ends with most players receiving and accepting proposals from their suitors, although it is possible to end up as an OldMaid.
