RULES (English)
PHASE 1(option b)
Player Action
 Starting with the player holding the First Player Token, each player chooses ONE action:
a. Move Urchins - at up to 3 locations
b. Steal / Exchange Goods - at up to 3 locations
c. Steal Shillings - at up to 3 locations
d. Go to Smithfield Market - all players go to the market
NB: Players choose ONE action only. They may not mix actions (ie: a player may NOT move at one location, take commodities at another location, and take shillings at a third location).
b. Steal Goods (affects current player only)
In their turn, a player may steal goods at up to 3 different locations at which they have urchins.
To do this the player chooses 3 different urchins and collects goods cubes according to the position of each urchin at its location (eg. in the example below, the orange urchin on the 4 level of the yellow track would collect 2 blue cubes + 2 black cubes). Cubes are taken from warehouse stocks; if stocks are depleted, the player takes as much as they can until stocks are depleted.  
For each white hand showing on the location level the player may choose a goods cube of any colour - including the colour of the current location (eg. in the example above, the brown urchin on the 0 level of the yellow track would collect 4 cubes of any 4 chosen colours).

NB: The lowest marked level of each location offers zero goods to steal (but a lot of shillings!)		  
     

ALTERNATIVE action: Exchange Goods
Instead of stealing goods at a location, the player may choose to swap 3 goods cubes in hand (any colours) for one goods cube of a chosen colour (swap with warehouses).

Therefore, a player choosing Action b in this phase could choose
to do any one of the following:
- Steal goods cubes at 3 locations;
- Steal goods cubes at 2 locations AND swap any 3 cubes in hand for 1 of choice;
- Steal goods cubes at 1 location AND swap any 6 cubes in hand for 2 of choice;
- Swap any 9 cubes in hand for 3 of choice		  
NB: these actions may be taken in any order (ie. a player may steal at one location and then swap).
