Sergeant Major India

The seat changes the target.

Move the dealer marker. Keep the player order fixed.

Read clockwise

The diagram fixes seats A, B and C in clockwise order. Select a dealer to see how the roles move. A number is a trick target, not a card value or a permanent property of a player.

Keep the reference beside it

The diagram uses Pagat’s 8-5-3 target assignment. It does not show a hand, recommend cards or decide an exchange. See the full reference for the complete procedure.
