Clarifications:

• When paying a customer to upgrade, pay a single token (double or thief is OK)
• When drawing customers at start of turn, if a thief is drawn, keep drawing until a non-thief is drawn.
• When drawing 2 customers, draw until 2 non-thief customers are drawn.

Jeff:

• Assumed that the customer type to remove during scoring was going to be based on number of tokens rather than number of points.

Suggestions/Actions
