The central player (the Starosta’s Lady) calls out, in turn, the players seated around the circle, assigning them courtly roles (such as marshal, equerry, chamberlain, lady-in-waiting, maidservant, etc.), saying: — The Starosta’s Lady is setting out on a journey and is taking, for example, the marshal with her. Each of those named follows the Starosta’s Lady. Once everyone is moving, the Starosta’s Lady suddenly calls out: — The Starosta’s Lady has arrived — and takes one of the marked places. Then, everyone does the same; whoever is left without a place becomes the Starosta’s Lady.
